THE MESSAGE
"Listen now while I make my case, consider my side of things for a change. Or are you going to keep on lying ‘to do God a service'? to make up stories ‘to get him off the hook'? Why do you always take his side? Do you think he needs a lawyer to defend himself? How would you fare if you were in the dock? Your lies might convince a jury—but would they convince God? He'd reprimand you on the spot if he detected a bias in your witness. Doesn't his splendor put you in awe? Aren't you afraid to speak cheap lies before him? Your wise sayings are knickknack wisdom, good for nothing but gathering dust.

1 Lo, all this haue I sene with myne eye, herde with myne eare, & vnderstonde it. 2 Loke what ye knowe, that same do I knowe also, nether am I inferior vnto you. 3 Neuerthelesse I am purposed to talke with the Allmightie, and my desyre is to comon with God. 4 As for you, ye are workmasters of lyes: and vnprofitable Phisicians alltogether. 5 Wolde God ye kepte youre tonge, that ye might be taken for wyse men. 6 Therfore heare my wordes, and pondre the sentence of my lippes. 7 Will ye make answere for God with lyes, and mateyne him with disceate? 8 Wil ye accepte ye personne of God, and intreate for him? 9 Shal that helpe you, when he calleth you to rekenynge? Thynke ye to begyle him, as a man is begyled? 10 Punysh you shall he and reproue you, yf ye do secretly accepte eny personne.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Hear now my reasoning,.... Job entreats his friends that they would be no longer speakers, but hearers; that they would vouchsafe to sit still, and hear what he had to say; though he was greatly afflicted, he had not lost his reason, wisdom was not driven out from him, Job 6:13; he had still with him his reasoning powers, which he was capable of making use of, and even before God, and desires that they would attend to what he had to say on his own behalf:
and hearken to the pleadings of my lips; he was capable of pleading his own cause, and he was desirous of doing it before God as his Judge; and begs the favour of his friends to be silent, and hear him out, and then let judgment be given, not by them, but by God himself.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 13:6. Hear now my reasoning — The speeches in this book are conceived as it delivered in a court of justice, different counsellors pleading against each other. Hence most of the terms are forensic.
