Context of Job 13:10

8Will you slant your testimony in his favor? Will you argue God’s case for him? 9What will happen when he finds out what you are doing? Can you fool him as easily as you fool people? No, you will be in trouble with him if you secretly slant your testimony in his favor. 11Doesn’t his majesty terrify you? Doesn’t your fear of him overwhelm you? 12Your platitudes are as valuable as ashes. Your defense is as fragile as a clay pot.
