Job 13:5-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
5
Oh that you would be completely silent,
And that it would become your wisdom!
6
Please hear my argument,
And give your attention to the contentions of my lips.
7
Will you speak what is unjust for God,
And speak what is deceitful for Him?
8
Will you show partiality for Him?
Will you contend for God?
9
Will it go
well when He examines you?
Or will you deceive Him as one deceives a man?
10
He will certainly punish you
If you secretly show partiality.
11
Will His majesty not terrify you,
And the dread of Him fall upon you?
12
Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes,
Your defenses are defenses of clay.
King James Version
Chapter 13
5
O 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 wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
8
Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
9
Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
10
He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
11
Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
12
Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 13
5
If only you would shut up
and let that be your wisdom!
6
Hear now my argument,
and listen to my defense.
7
Would you testify unjustly on God’s behalf
or speak deceitfully for him?
8
Would you show partiality to him
or argue the case in his defense?
9
Would it go well if he examined you?
Could you deceive him as you would deceive a man?
10
Surely he would rebuke you
if you secretly showed partiality.
11
Would God’s majesty not terrify you?
Would his dread not fall on you?
12
Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ash;
your defenses are made of clay.
New Living Translation
Chapter 13
5
If only you could be silent!
That’s the wisest thing you could do.
6
Listen to my charge;
pay attention to my arguments.
7
'Are you defending God with lies?
Do you make your dishonest arguments for his sake?
8
Will you slant your testimony in his favor?
Will you argue God’s case for him?
9
What will happen when he finds out what you are doing?
Can you fool him as easily as you fool people?
10
No, you will be in trouble with him
if you secretly slant your testimony in his favor.
11
Doesn’t his majesty terrify you?
Doesn’t your fear of him overwhelm you?
12
Your platitudes are as valuable as ashes.
Your defense is as fragile as a clay pot.
English Standard Version
Chapter 13
5
Oh that you would keep silent,
and it would be your wisdom!
6
Hear now my argument
and listen to the pleadings of my lips.
7
Will you speak falsely for God
and 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 you
if 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.
New International Version
Chapter 13
5
If only you would be altogether silent!
For you, that would be wisdom.
6
Hear now my argument;
listen to the pleas of my lips.
7
Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf?
Will you speak deceitfully for him?
8
Will you show him partiality?
Will you argue the case for God?
9
Would it turn out well if he examined you?
Could you deceive him as you might deceive a mortal?
10
He would surely call you to account
if you secretly showed partiality.
11
Would not his splendor terrify you?
Would not the dread of him fall on you?
12
Your maxims are proverbs of ashes;
your defenses are defenses of clay.
New King James Version
Chapter 13
5
Oh, that you would be silent,
And it would be your wisdom!
6
Now hear my reasoning,
And heed the pleadings of my lips.
7
Will you speak wickedly for God,
And talk deceitfully for Him?
8
Will you show partiality for Him?
Will you contend for God?
9
Will it be well when He searches you out?
Or can you mock Him as one mocks a man?
10
He will surely rebuke you
If you secretly show partiality.
11
Will not His excellence make you afraid,
And the dread of Him fall upon you?
12
Your platitudes
are
proverbs of ashes,
Your defenses are defenses of clay.
