Context of Job 13:11

9Would it turn out well if he examined you? Could you deceive him as you might deceive a mortal? 10He would surely call you to account if you secretly showed partiality. Would not his splendor terrify you? Would not the dread of him fall on you? 12Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay. 13“Keep silent and let me speak; then let come to me what may.
