Job 13:1-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
1'Behold, my eye has seen all this, My ear has heard and understood it. 2What you know I also know; I am not inferior to you. 3'But I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to argue with God. 4But you smear me with lies; You are all worthless physicians. 5Oh that you would be completely silent, And that it would become your wisdom! 6Please hear my argument, And give your attention to the contentions of my lips. 7Will you speak what is unjust for God, And speak what is deceitful for Him? 8Will you show partiality for Him? Will you contend for God?King James Version
Chapter 13
1Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it. 2What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you. 3Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God. 4But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value. 5O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom. 6Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips. 7Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him? 8Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 13
1'Look, I have seen all this with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, and now I understand. 2I know as much as you do. You are no better than I am. 3As for me, I would speak directly to the Almighty. I want to argue my case with God himself. 4As for you, you smear me with lies. As physicians, you are worthless quacks. 5If only you could be silent! That’s the wisest thing you could do. 6Listen to my charge; pay attention to my arguments.English Standard Version

Will you plead the case for God?New International Version

For you, that would be wisdom. 6Hear now my argument; listen to the pleas of my lips. 7Will you speak wickedly on God's behalf? Will you speak deceitfully for him? 8Will you show him partiality?
