Job 13:8 Douay-Rheims

Do you accept his person, and do you endeavour to judge for God?

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

"If he follows your traces," Job says. Therefore you, who speak so now would have not spoken so, if you were directly involved in the case that is judged. That is, if you were in my place and God were judging your matters with severity, you would have not judged my words as you do now. Or, to say things in a different manner, you, who speak so, would have not been judges of my words. In fact, Job says, even if you speak more, and you do everything to speak in God's favor, he will not confound you any less and will ask you for explanations.
