Job 13:6-12

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.
