Job 34:1-8 ▼

1 Then Elihu continued, saying:

2 Hear my words, you wise ones, and listen to me, you knowledgeable ones.

3 Doesn’t the ear test words as the palate tastes food?

4 Let us judge for ourselves what is right; let us decide together what is good.

5 For Job has declared, “I am righteous, yet God has deprived me of justice.

6 Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.”

7 What man is like Job? He drinks derision like water.

8 He keeps company with evildoers and walks with wicked men.
