6 Please hear my argument, and listen attentively to the pleadings of my lips.
7 “Will you speak falsely for God? And will you speak deceitfully for him?
8 Will you show partiality for him? Or do you want to plead God’s case?
9 Will it be well, if he examines you? Or can you deceive him like deceiving a human being?
10 “Surely he will rebuke you if you show partiality in secret.
11 Will not his majesty terrify you, and his dread fall upon you?
12 Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay.
