Job 13:5
3 Yet I desire to speak to the Almighty and argue my case before God.
4 You, however, smear with lies; you are all worthless physicians.
If only you would remain silent; for that would be your wisdom!
6 Hear now my argument, and listen to the plea of my lips.
7 Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf or speak deceitfully for Him?
