Job 13:6-12
New American Standard Bible
6 Please hear my argument,
And give your attention to the contentions of my lips.
7 Will you (A)speak what is unjust for God,
And speak what is deceitful for Him?
8 Will you (B)show partiality for Him?
Will you contend for God?
9 Will it go well when He examines you?
Or (C)will you deceive Him as one deceives a man?
10 He will certainly punish you
If you secretly (D)show partiality.
11 Will (E)His [a]majesty not terrify you,
And the dread of Him fall upon you?
12 Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes,
Your defenses are defenses 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.
