Job 33:31-34:4
American Standard Version
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 thou unto me:
Hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.
34 Moreover Elihu answered and said,
2 Hear my words, ye wise men;
And give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
3 For the ear trieth words,
As the palate tasteth food.
4 Let us choose for us that which is right:
Let us know among ourselves what is good.
Job 33:31-34:4

Elihu Asserts God’s Justice
34 Thus[d] Elihu spoke up[e] and said,
2 “Hear my words, you wise men,
and listen to me, you who know,
3 for the ear tests words,
and the palate tastes food.[f]
4 Let us choose justice for ourselves;
let us determine among ourselves what is good—
