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.
Job 13:6-12
New King James Version
6 Now hear my reasoning,
And heed the pleadings of my lips.
7 (A)Will you speak [a]wickedly for God,
And talk deceitfully for Him?
8 Will you show partiality for Him?
Will you contend for God?
9 Will it be well when He searches you out?
Or can you mock Him as one mocks a man?
10 He will surely rebuke you
If you secretly show partiality.
11 Will not His [b]excellence make you afraid,
And the dread of Him fall upon you?
12 Your platitudes are proverbs of ashes,
Your defenses are defenses of clay.
