"Or, will it please him, from whom nothing can be concealed? Or, will he be deceived, like a man, by your deceitfulness? "
— Job 13:9, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?”
“Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceiveth a man, will ye deceive him? ”
“Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?”
“Would it turn out well if he would examine you? Or as one deceives a man would you deceive him?”
“Or shall it please him, from whom nothing can be concealed? or shall he be deceived as a man, with your deceitful dealings?”
“Will it be good for you to be searched out by him, or have you the thought that he may be guided into error like a man?”
“Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?”
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.
Your remembrance will be compared to ashes, and your necks will be reduced to clay.
