7. Will you speak wickedly for God?And talk deceitfully for Him?
8. Will you take His side?Will you plead for God?
9. Is it good that He would search you out?Or as one man mocks another, do you so mock Him?
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 reminders are parables made of ashes;your answers are answers made of clay.
13. “Hold your peace; leave me alone, that I may speak,and let come on me what may!
14. Why do I take my flesh in my teethand put my life in my hand?
15. Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him,but I will defend my own ways before Him.
16. He also will be my salvation,for a hypocrite could not come before Him.
17. Listen carefully to my speech,and to my declaration with your ears.
18. See now, I have prepared my case;I know that I will be justified.
