Job 13:7-16 - Your Wisdom Misrepresents God

⁷ Will ye make an answer for God with lies, and maintain him with deceit? ⁸ Will ye accept the person of God, or will ye contend with him? ⁹ Shall that help you, when he calleth you to reckoning? Think ye to beguile him, as a man is beguiled? ¹⁰ He shall punish you, and reprove you, if ye do secretly accept any person. ¹¹ Shall he not make you afraid, when he showeth himself? Shall not his terrible face fall upon you? ¹² Your remembrance shall be like unto the dust, and your pride shall be turned to clay.

¹³ "Hold your tongues now, and let me speak, for there is something come into my mind. ¹⁴ Wherefore do I bear my flesh in my teeth, and put my soul in my hands? ¹⁵ Lo, though he slay me, yet will I put my trust in him. But if I shew and reprove mine own ways in his sight, ¹⁶ he shall make me whole: And why? There may no hypocrite come before him.
