Job 13:7-8
Job 13:7-8 New International Version (NIV)
Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf? Will you speak deceitfully for him? Will you show him partiality? Will you argue the case for God?
Job 13:7-8 New Living Translation (NLT)
“Are you defending God with lies? Do you make your dishonest arguments for his sake? Will you slant your testimony in his favor? Will you argue God’s case for him?
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 witness stand? Your lies might convince a jury—but would they convince God? He’d reprimand you on the spot if 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.
Job 13:7-8 King James Version (KJV)
Will ye speak wickedly for God? And talk deceitfully for him? Will ye accept his person? Will ye contend for God?

You should not speak evil in the name of God; you cannot speak God’s truth by telling lies. You should not unfairly choose his side against mine; you should not argue the case for God.
