31 “Pay attention, Job, and listen(A) to me;(B)
    be silent,(C) and I will speak.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me;(D)
    speak up, for I want to vindicate you.(E)
33 But if not, then listen to me;(F)
    be silent,(G) and I will teach you wisdom.(H)

34 Then Elihu said:

“Hear my words, you wise men;
    listen to me,(I) you men of learning.
For the ear tests words
    as the tongue tastes food.(J)
Let us discern for ourselves what is right;(K)
    let us learn together what is good.(L)

31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.

32 If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.

33 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.

34 Furthermore Elihu answered and said,

Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.

For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.

Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
