5O that you would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.Select Job 13:5

6Hear now my reasoning, and listen to the pleadings of my lips.Select Job 13:6

7Will you speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?Select Job 13:7

8Will you accept his person? will you contend for God?Select Job 13:8

14Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand?Select Job 13:14
