Job 33:31-34:4

New Living Translation

³¹ Mark this well, Job. Listen to me,
    for I have more to say.
³² But if you have anything to say, go ahead.
    Speak, for I am anxious to see you justified.
³³ But if not, then listen to me.
    Keep silent and I will teach you wisdom!”

² “Listen to me, you wise men.
    Pay attention, you who have knowledge.
³ Job said, ‘The ear tests the words it hears
    just as the mouth distinguishes between foods.’
⁴ So let us discern for ourselves what is right;
    let us learn together what is good.
