Job 13:6-12

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁶ Please listen to my argument,
and pay attention to my plea.

⁷ “Will you talk wickedly for God
and talk deceitfully on his behalf?
⁸ Will you favor him
⌞as⌟ if you were arguing in court on God’s behalf?
⁹ Will it go well when he cross-examines you?
Will you try to trick him as one mortal tricks another?
¹⁰ Will he really defend you
if you secretly favor ⌞him⌟?
¹¹ Doesn’t his majesty terrify you?
Doesn’t the fear of him fall upon you?
¹² “Your recollections are worthless proverbs.^[a]
Your answers are absolutely useless.^[b]
