Job 13:4-12
King James Version
Job 13:4-12
King James Version
4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
5 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
11 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
12 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.

Job 13:4-12
New International Version
4 You, however, smear me with lies;(A)
you are worthless physicians,(B) all of you!(C)
5 If only you would be altogether silent!(D)
For you, that would be wisdom.(E)
6 Hear now my argument;
listen to the pleas of my lips.(F)
7 Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf?
Will you speak deceitfully for him?(G)
8 Will you show him partiality?(H)
Will you argue the case for God?
9 Would it turn out well if he examined you?(I)
Could you deceive him as you might deceive a mortal?(J)
10 He would surely call you to account
if you secretly showed partiality.(K)
11 Would not his splendor(L) terrify you?
Would not the dread of him fall on you?(M)
12 Your maxims are proverbs of ashes;
your defenses are defenses of clay.(N)

Job 13:4-12
New King James Version
4 But you forgers of lies,
(A)You are all worthless physicians.
5 Oh, that you would be silent,
And (B)it would be your wisdom!
6 Now hear my reasoning,
And heed the pleadings of my lips.
7 (C)Will you speak [a]wickedly for God,
And talk deceitfully for Him?
8 Will you show partiality for Him?
Will you contend for God?
9 Will it be well when He searches you out?
Or can you mock Him as one mocks a man?
10 He will surely rebuke you
If you secretly show partiality.
11 Will not His [b]excellence make you afraid,
And the dread of Him fall upon you?
12 Your platitudes are proverbs of ashes,
Your defenses are defenses of clay.
