Context of Job 13:10

8You are trying to win the argument for God. But you are not being honest when you do that. 9If God asks you questions, would he find that you speak the truth? Or would you try to deceive him, as you deceive other people? When you speak on God's behalf, you may think that your lies are a secret. But God will still punish you. 11His great power will frighten you. You will be very afraid of him. 12Your wise teaching is worth no more than ashes. Your arguments are weak and useless.
