1[Job continued:] "Behold, my eye has seen all this, My ear has heard and understood it. 2"What you know I also know; I am not inferior to you. 3"But I wish to speak to the Almighty, And I desire to argue with God. 4"But you smear me with lies [you defame my character most untruthfully]; You are all worthless physicians and have no remedy to offer. 5"Oh, that you would be completely silent, And that silence would be your wisdom! 6"Please hear my argument And listen to the pleadings of my lips. 7"Will you speak what is unjust for God, And speak what is deceitful for Him? 8"Will you show partiality for Him [and be unjust to me so that you may gain favor with Him]? Will you contend and plead for God? 9"Will it be well for you when He investigates you [and your tactics against me]? Or will you deceive Him as one deceives a man? 10"He will surely reprimand you If you secretly show partiality.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He will surely reprove you,.... Or "in reproving he will reprove you" r; he will certainly do it, it may be depended upon, and be expected; he will never suffer sin to go unreproved and uncorrected; he will do it to the purpose, with sharpness and severity, as the nature of the crime requires; he reproves by his spirit, and it is well for men when he thoroughly, and in a spiritual and saving way, reproves them by him, and convinces them of sin, righteousness, and judgment; and he reproves by his word, which is written for reproof and correction; and by his ministers, one part of whose work it is to rebuke and reprove men for bad practices, and bad principles; and in some cases they are to use sharpness, and which when submitted to, and kindly taken, it is well; and sometimes he reproves by his providences, by afflictive dispensations, and that either in love, as he rebukes his own children, or in wrath and hot displeasure, as others, which is here designed; and as it is always for sin he rebukes men, so particularly he rebukes for the following, as might be expected:

if ye do secretly accept persons; acceptance of persons in judgment is prohibited by God, and is highly resented by him; yea, even the acceptance of his own person to the prejudice of the character of an innocent man; which seems to be what Job has respect unto, as appears from Job 13:8; and some versions render it, "if ye accept his face" a; and though this may be done no openly and publicly, but in a covert and secret manner, under disguise, and with specious pretences to the honour and glory of God.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons - If you show partiality, you will incur his disapprobation. This seems to have much era proverbial cast, and to mean that under no possible circumstances was it right to show partiality. No matter for whom it may be done, it will be displeasing to God. Even if it be in favor of the righteous, the widow, the fatherless, or of himself, if there is not a disposition to judge according to truth and evidence, God will frown upon you. No matter who the parties might be; no matter what their rank; no matter what friendship there might be for one or the other of them, it was never to be assumed that one was right and the other wrong without evidence. The exact truth was to be sought after, and the judgement made up accordingly. Even when God was one of the parties, the same course was to be pursued. His character was capable of being successfully vindicated, and he would not be pleased to have his cause defended or decided by partiality, or by mere favor. Hence, he encourages people to bring forth their strong reasons, and to adduce all that can be said against his government and laws. See the notes at Isaiah 41:1-21.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 13:10. He will surely reprove you — You may expect, not only his disapprobation, but his hot displeasure.
