    and ·hear [L pay attention to] the ·pleading [L accusation] of my lips.
·You should not speak evil in the name of [L Will you speak unjustly for…?] God;
    ·you cannot speak God’s truth by telling lies [L will you speak deceitful things about him?].
·You should not unfairly choose his side against mine [L Will you favor him…?];
    ·you should not argue the case [L if you make an accusation] for God.
·You will not do [Will it go…?] well if he examines you;
    you cannot ·fool [deceive] God as you might ·fool [deceive] humans.

    and your ·arguments [responses] are ·as weak as [L made of] clay.
