Job 34:1-8 ▼

1 Elihu continued his discourse and said,

2 “Hear my words, you wise men, And listen to me, you who have [so much] knowledge.

3 “For the ear puts words to the test As the palate tastes food.

4 “Let us choose for ourselves that which is right; Let us know among ourselves what is good.

5 “For Job has said, ‘I am righteous [and innocent], But God has taken away my right;

6 Although I am right, I am accounted a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’

7 “What man is like Job, Who drinks up derision like water,

8 Who goes in company with those who do evil And walks with wicked men?
