Job 34:1-8 ▼

1 Then Elihu answered and said,

2 “Hear my speech, 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 for ourselves what is just; Let us know among ourselves what is good.

5 For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, But God has removed my justice;

6 Should I lie concerning my justice? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’

7 What man is like Job, Who drinks up mocking like water,

8 But he travels in company with the workers of iniquity, And walks with wicked men?
