In context
2 According to your knowledge I also know: neither am I inferior to you.
3 But yet I will speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
4 Having first shewn that you are forgers of lies, and maintainers of perverse opinions.
5 And I wish you would hold your peace, that you might be thought to be wise men.
6 Hear ye therefore my reproof, and attend to the judgment of my lips.
7 Hath God any need of your lie, that you should speak deceitfully for him?
8 Do you accept this person, and do you endeavour to judge for God?
