Context of Job 13:10

8Will ye respect his person? will ye contend for God? 9Is it good that he should search you out? or as one deceiveth a man, will ye deceive him? He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly respect persons. 11Shall not his excellency make you afraid, and his dread fall upon you? 12Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, your defences are defences of clay.
