Job 13:6-12 The Message (MSG)

“Listen now while I make my case,consider my side of things for a change.Or are you going to keep on lying ‘to do God a service’?to make up stories ‘to get him off the hook’?Why do you always take his side?Do you think he needs a lawyer to defend himself?How would you fare if you were in the dock?Your lies might convince a jury—but would theyconvince God?He’d reprimand you on the spotif he detected a bias in your witness.Doesn’t his splendor put you in awe?Aren’t you afraid to speak cheap lies before him?Your wise sayings are knickknack wisdom,good for nothing but gathering dust.
