Job 13:6-12 (Listen)

• Job 12
• Job 13
• Job 14

6 Hear now my argument

and listen to the pleadings of my lips.

7 Will you ispeak falsely for God

and speak ideceitfully for him?

8 Will you show partiality toward him?

Will you jplead the case for God?

9 Will it be well with you when he ksearches you out?

Or lcan you deceive him, as one deceives a man?

10 He will surely rebuke you

if in secret you show partiality.

11 Will not his mmajesty terrify you,

and the dread of him fall upon you?

12 Your maxims are proverbs of nashes;

your defenses are defenses of clay.
