5 Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Will ye speak unrighteously for God, and talk deceitfully for him?
8 Will ye respect his person? will ye contend for God?
9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one deceiveth a man, will ye deceive him?
10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly respect persons.
11 Shall not his excellency make you afraid, and his dread fall upon you?
