"Have you taken his place, and do you struggle to give judgment in favor of God?"
— Job 13:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?”
“Will ye show partiality to him? Will ye contend for God? ”
“Will you show partiality to him? Will you contend for God?”
“Will you show him partiality? Will you argue the case for God?”
“Do you accept this person, and do you endeavour to judge for God?”
“Will you have respect for God's person in this cause, and put yourselves forward as his supporters?”
“Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?”
And I wish that you would remain silent, so that you would be counted among the wise.
Therefore, listen to my correction, and pay attention to the judgment of my lips.
Does God require your lie, so that you would speak deceitfully for him?
Have you taken his place, and do you struggle to give judgment in favor of God?
Or, will it please him, from whom nothing can be concealed? Or, will he be deceived, like a man, by your deceitfulness?
He will accuse you because in secret you have preempted his presence.
As soon as he moves himself, he will disturb you, and his dread will fall over you.
