For I do not know how to eulogize; else after a little my Maker would take me away.
He who for a share informs against friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
I will not now lift up the face of a man, nor eulogize any man,
However, Job, please hear my speeches, and listen to all my words.
my words shall be from my upright heart, and my lips will clearly speak knowledge.
Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
He who rebukes a man shall afterwards find more favor than he who flatters with the tongue.
A man who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his feet.
For now do I persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
For neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor with pretense of covetousness; God is witness.
