Job 13:9

Integrity

7 Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf or speak deceitfully for Him?

8 Would you show Him partiality or argue in His defense?

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.

11 Would His majesty not terrify you? Would the dread of Him not fall upon you?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
