Chapter 13
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? 10He will certainly punish you If you secretly show partiality. 11Will His majesty not terrify you, And the dread of Him fall upon you? 12Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defenses are defenses of clay.King James Version
Chapter 13
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? 10He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons. 11Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you? 12Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 13
8Would you show partiality to him or argue the case in his defense? 9Would it go well if he examined you?

Would his dread not fall on you?New Living Translation
Chapter 13
8Will you slant your testimony in his favor? Will you argue God’s case for him? 9What will happen when he finds out what you are doing? Can you fool him as easily as you fool people? 10No, you will be in trouble with him if you secretly slant your testimony in his favor. 11Doesn’t his majesty terrify you? Doesn’t your fear of him overwhelm you? 12Your platitudes are as valuable as ashes. Your defense is as fragile as a clay pot.English Standard Version

Would not the dread of him fall on you?New King James Version
