Job 13:7-11

7Will you aspeak falsely for God
and speak bdeceitfully for him?
8Will you show partiality toward him?
Will you cplead the case for God?
9Will it be well with you when he dsearches you out?
Or ecan you deceive him, as one deceives a man?
10He will surely rebuke you
if in secret you show partiality.
11Will not his fmajesty terrify you,
and the dread of him fall upon you?

Romans 13:1-4

Submission to the Authorities

1Let every person gbe subject to the governing authorities. For hthere is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you iwill receive his approval, 4for jhe is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, kan avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.
