Job 13:6-12
Authorized (King James) Version
6 Hear now my reasoning,
and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Will ye speak wickedly for God?
and talk deceitfully for him?
8 Will ye accept his person?
will ye contend for God?
9 Is it good that he should search you out?
or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
10 He will surely reprove you,
if ye do secretly accept persons.
11 Shall not his excellency make you afraid?
and his dread fall upon you?
12 Your remembrances are like unto ashes,
your bodies to bodies of clay.
Job 13:6-12
American Standard Version
6 Hear now my reasoning,
And hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Will ye speak unrighteously for God,
And talk deceitfully for him?
8 Will ye show partiality to him?
Will ye contend for God?
9 Is it good that he should search you out?
Or as one [a]deceiveth a man, will ye [b]deceive him?
10 He will surely reprove you,
If ye do secretly show partiality.
11 Shall not his majesty make you afraid,
And his dread fall upon you?
12 Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes,
Your defences are defences of clay.
