Job 13:6-12
Legacy Standard Bible
6 Please hear my argument
And give heed to the contentions of my lips.
7 Will you (A)speak what is unrighteous for God,
And speak what is deceitful for Him?
8 Will you (B)show partiality for Him?
Will you contend for God?
9 Will it be well when He examines you?
Or (C)will you deceive Him as one deceives a man?
10 He will surely reprove you
If you secretly (D)show partiality.
11 Will not (E)His exaltedness terrify you,
And the dread of Him fall on you?
12 Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes;
Your defenses are defenses of clay.
Job 13:6-12
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 Hear now my argument,
and listen to my defense.[a]
7 Would you testify unjustly on God’s behalf
or speak deceitfully for Him?
8 Would you show partiality(A) to Him
or argue the case in His defense?
9 Would it go well if He examined you?
Could you deceive Him as you would deceive a man?(B)
10 Surely He would rebuke you
if you secretly showed partiality.
11 Would God’s majesty not terrify you?(C)
Would His dread not fall on you?
12 Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ash;(D)
your defenses are made of clay.
