Context of Job 13:6

4But you smear with lies; You are all worthless physicians. 5O that you would be completely silent, And that it would become your wisdom! Please hear my argument And listen to the contentions of my lips. 7Will you speak what is unjust for God, And speak what is deceitful for Him? 8Will you show partiality for Him? Will you contend for God?
