Job 13:7-16 - Your Wisdom Misrepresents God

⁷ Are ye to speak iniquity for God? Are ye to speak deceitfully for him? ⁸ Are ye to bring honour unto him? Are ye to contend for God? ⁹ Would it be good for him to search you out? As one man mocks another, do ye so mock him? ¹⁰ He will reprove you severely, if in secret you give him such honour. ¹¹ Certainly his excellency should make you afraid, and his dread should fall upon you. ¹² Your memories shall be compared unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.

¹³ Listen to me, and I will speak, and afterward let come on me what will. ¹⁴ Why shall I take my flesh in my teeth and put my life in the palm of my hand? ¹⁵ Though he slay me, yet I will trust in him; but I will defend my ways before him. ¹⁶ He also shall be my saving health; for the hypocrite shall not enter into his presence.
