Job 13:8

Accept his person. Literally, “lift up his faces,” a Hebrew idiom for showing partiality. Job is saying, in effect, “Will you, from partiality to God, maintain unjust principle, and defend positions that are really untenable?” Job felt that his friends were injuring him, while endeavoring to vindicate God. He felt that they were acting out of mere servility to God, without an adequate understanding of the issues involved. Contend for God. Will ye, like an unjust judge, be biased in favor of one of the parties in a dispute?
