Job 13:6-12
English Standard Version
6 Hear now my argument
and listen to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Will you (A)speak falsely for God
and speak (B)deceitfully for him?
8 Will you show partiality toward him?
Will you (C)plead the case for God?
9 Will it be well with you when he (D)searches you out?
Or (E)can you deceive him, as one deceives a man?
10 He will surely rebuke you
if in secret you show partiality.
11 Will not his (F)majesty terrify you,
and the dread of him fall upon you?
12 Your maxims are proverbs of (G)ashes;
your defenses are defenses of clay.
Job 13:6-12
Common English Bible
6 Hear my teaching
and pay attention to the arguments of my lips.
7 Will you speak injustice for God,
speak deceit on his behalf?
8 Will you be partial
or contend for God?
9 Will it go well when he searches you,
or can you fool him as you fool people?
10 He will certainly correct you
if you’ve been secretly partial.
11 Wouldn’t his majesty scare you
and dread of him fall on you?
12 Your old sayings are proverbs made of ashes,
your sayings defenses made of clay.
