Charles Ellicott Commentary
"Will ye speak unrighteously for God, And talk deceitfully for him?" — Job 13:7 (ASV)
Will you speak wickedly for God? — And now, in these verses, he expresses a sublime truth, which shows how truly he had attained to the true understanding of God. For he declares that He, who is no respecter of persons, desires no favour to be shown to Himself, and that in seeking to show Him favour, they will greatly damage their own cause. For He is a God of truth, and by Him, words as well as actions are weighed, and therefore nothing that is not true can avail anyone with Him.
