Job 13:5-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 13
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? 9 Will it go well when He examines you? Or will you deceive Him as one deceives a man?King James Version
Chapter 13
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? 9Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?Christian Standard Bible

5If only you would shut up and let that be your wisdom! 6Hear now my argument, and listen to my defense. 7Would you testify unjustly on God's behalf or speak deceitfully for him? 8Would you show partiality to him or argue the case in his defense? 9Would it go well if he examined you? Could you deceive him as you would deceive a man?New Living Translation
