Job 13:6-12
World English Bible
6 Hear now my reasoning.
Listen to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Will you speak unrighteously for God,
and talk deceitfully for him?
8 Will you show partiality to him?
Will you contend for God?
9 Is it good that he should search you out?
Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?
10 He will surely reprove you
if you secretly show partiality.
11 Shall not his majesty make you afraid,
and his dread fall on you?
12 Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes.
Your defenses are defenses of clay.
Job 13:6-12
Lexham English Bible
6 Please hear my argument,
and listen attentively to the pleadings of my lips.
7 “Will you[a] speak falsely for God?
And will you[b] speak deceitfully for him?
8 Will you[c] show partiality for him?[d]
Or do you[e] want to plead God’s case?
9 Will it be well, if he examines you?[f]
Or can you[g] deceive him like deceiving a human being?
10 “Surely he will rebuke you[h]
if you[i] show partiality[j] in secret.
11 Will not his majesty terrify you,[k]
and his dread fall upon you?[l]
12 Your[m] maxims are proverbs of ashes;
your[n] defenses are defenses of clay.
