"Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?"
— Job 13:9, World English Bible
“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? ”
“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?”
Hear now my reasoning. Listen to the pleadings of my lips.
Will you speak unrighteously for God, and talk deceitfully for him?
Will you show partiality to him? Will you contend for God?
Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?
He will surely reprove you if you secretly show partiality.
Shall not his majesty make you afraid, And his dread fall on you?
Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defenses are defenses of clay.
