Job 13:4-13

4But you, however, are inventors of lies; all of you are worthless physicians!

5If only you would keep completely silent! For you, that would be wisdom.

6“Listen now to my argument, and be attentive to my lips’ contentions.

7Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf? Will you speak deceitfully for him?

8Will you show him partiality? Will you argue the case for God?

9Would it turn out well if he would examine you? Or as one deceives a man would you deceive him?

10He would certainly rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality!

11Would not his splendor terrify you and the fear he inspires fall on you?

12Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay.

13“Refrain from talking with me so that I may speak; then let come to me what may.
