Job 13:11
9 Would it be well when He examined you? Could you deceive Him like a man?
10 Surely He would rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality.
Would His majesty not terrify you? Would the dread of Him not fall upon you?
12 Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay.
13 Be silent, and I will speak. Then let come to me what may.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
