Job 13:6-12
World English Bible
6 Hear now my reasoning.
Listen to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Will you speak unrighteously for God,
and talk deceitfully for him?
8 Will you show partiality to him?
Will you contend for God?
9 Is it good that he should search you out?
Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?
10 He will surely reprove you
if you secretly show partiality.
11 Shall not his majesty make you afraid,
and his dread fall on you?
12 Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes.
Your defenses are defenses of clay.
Job 13:6-12
International Standard Version
6 “Now listen to my dispute!
Pay attention to my arguments.[a]
7 Why do you speak falsely on God’s behalf
and speak deceitfully[b] about him?
8 Will you show partiality to him?[c]
Will you plead God’s case?
9 Will things go well for you under his cross-examination?
Can you lie to him, as you would to a human being?[d]
10 “He will be sure to rebuke you,
if you show partiality[e] in secret.
11 His splendor will petrify you with terror,
paralyzing you with fear, won’t it?
12 Your maxims are just worthless proverbs;
your defensive arguments are made of clay.”
