6 Hear now my argumentand listen to the accusations from my lips.
7 Is it for God that you speak falsehood?Is it for him that you utter deceit?
8 Is it for him that you show partiality?Do you make accusations on behalf of God?
9 Will it be well when he shall search you out?Can you deceive him as you do a mere human being?
10 He will openly rebuke youif in secret you show partiality.
11 Surely his majesty will frighten youand dread of him fall upon you.
12 Your reminders are ashy maxims,your fabrications mounds of clay.
