Job 13:6-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ But now, listen to my rebuttal.
Pay attention to the arguments from my lips.
⁷ Will you misrepresent God?^[a]
Will you speak deceitfully about him?
⁸ Will you show favoritism on behalf of God
and argue his case for him?
⁹ Will it turn out well when he cross-examines you?
Can you fool God as you can fool a man?
¹⁰ He will certainly rule against you if you hide your favoritism.
¹¹ Won’t God’s majesty frighten you?
Won’t the dread he inspires overwhelm you?
¹² Your axioms are proverbs made of ashes.
Your strong points are made of clay.
