Please hear my argument,
and listen attentively to the pleadings of my lips.
“Will you[a] speak falsely for God?
And will you[b] speak deceitfully for him?
Will you[c] show partiality for him?[d]
Or do you[e] want to plead God’s case?
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.
