Job 33:31-34:4
Christian Standard Bible
31 Pay attention, Job, and listen to me.
Be quiet, and I will speak.
32 But if you have something to say,[a] answer me;
speak, for I would like to justify you.
33 If not, then listen to me;
be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.
34 Then Elihu continued,[b] saying:
2 Hear my words, you wise ones,
and listen to me, you knowledgeable ones.
3 Doesn’t the ear test words
as the palate tastes food?
4 Let us judge for ourselves what is right;
let us decide together what is good.
Job 33:31-34:4
Lexham English Bible
31 “Listen attentively, Job; listen to me;
be silent, and I will speak.
32 If you have anything to say,[a] answer me;[b]
speak, for I desire to justify you.[c]
33 If not, you listen to me;
be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
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—
