New Testament

Job 13:1-10 New Century Version (NCV)

1. “Now my eyes have seen all this;my ears have heard and understood it.

2. What you know, I also know.You are not better than I am.

3. But I want to speak to the Almightyand to argue my case with God.

4. But you smear me with lies.You are worthless doctors, all of you!

5. I wish you would just stop talking;then you would really be wise!

6. Listen to my argument,and hear the pleading of my lips.

7. You should not speak evil in the name of God;you cannot speak God’s truth by telling lies.

8. You should not unfairly choose his side against mine;you should not argue the case for God.

9. You will not do well if he examines you;you cannot fool God as you might fool humans.

10. God would surely scold youif you unfairly took one person’s side.
