Job 13:10
Surely He would rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality.
BSB
ASV
He will surely reprove you, If ye do secretly show partiality.
KJV
He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
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.
