Job 34:1-8 ▼

1 Then Elihu answered and said:

2 “Hear my words, you wise men, and give ear to me, you who know;

3 for the ear tests words as the palate tastes food.

4 Let us choose what is right; let us know among ourselves what is good.

5 For Job has said, ‘I am in the right, and God has taken away my right;

6 in spite of my right I am counted a liar; my wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’

7 What man is like Job, who drinks up scoffing like water,

8 who travels in company with evildoers and walks with wicked men?
