7 Will you speak falsely for Godand speak deceitfully for him?
8 Will you show partiality toward him?Will you plead the case for God?
9 Will it be well with you when he searches you out?Or can you deceive him, as one deceives a man?
10 He will surely rebuke youif in secret you show partiality.
11 Will not his majesty terrify you,and the dread of him fall upon you?
12 Your maxims are proverbs of ashes;your defenses are defenses of clay.
13 “Let me have silence, and I will speak,and let come on me what may.
