Job asks his friends in verse 9 if they could deceive God if He examined them. Job is pointing out that though his friends are good at saying how he must be disobeying God that they couldn't stand before God any better. We will see later in the book that this is true. God will examine them and find them wanting. For me, it is a reminder that instead of criticizing others we should focus more on our own lives. Complaining and pointing out how others fail will not erase our sins. It is only when we go to God and let Him examine us can we be made pure.
