5. Oh that you would be completely silent!Then you would be wise.
6. Hear now my reasoning.Listen to the pleadings of my lips.
7. Will you speak unrighteously for God,and talk deceitfully for him?
8. Will you show partiality to him?Will you contend for God?
9. Is it good that he should search you out?Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?
10. He will surely reprove you,if you secretly show partiality.
11. Shall not his majesty make you afraid,And his dread fall on you?
12. Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes,Your defences are defences of clay.
