Job 13:4-13

4As for you, you smear me with lies. As physicians, you are worthless quacks.

5If only you could be silent! That’s the wisest thing you could do.

6Listen to my charge; pay attention to my arguments.

7“Are you defending God with lies? Do you make your dishonest arguments for his sake?

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?

10No, 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.

13“Be silent now and leave me alone. Let me speak, and I will face the consequences.
