Would it turn out well if he would examine you? Or as one deceives a man would you deceive him?
He would certainly rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality!
Would not his splendor terrify you and the fear he inspires fall on you?
Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay.
“Refrain from talking with me so that I may speak; then let come to me what may.
Why do I put myself in peril, and take my life in my hands?
Even if he slays me, I will hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face!
