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.
