Job 13:9

“Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?”

Verse in context — Job 13

Will you speak unrighteously for God, and talk deceitfully for him?

Will you show partiality to him? Will you contend for God?

Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?

He will surely reprove you if you secretly show partiality.

Shall not his majesty make you afraid, And his dread fall on you?

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
