Job 34:1-8 ▼

1 Then Elihu continued and said,

2 “Hear my words, you wise men, And listen to me, you who know.

3 “For the ear tests words As the palate tastes food.

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

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

6 Should I lie concerning my right? 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 the workers of iniquity, And walks with wicked men?
