6 Hear now my defence, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Will ye speak unrighteously for ·God and for him speak deceit?
8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for ·God
9 Will it be well if he should search you out? or as one mocketh at a man, will ye mock at him?
10 He will certainly reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
11 Shall not his excellency terrify you? and his dread fall upon you?
12 Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, your bulwarks are bulwarks of mire.
