Job 33:31-34:4
Legacy Standard Bible
31 Pay attention, O Job, listen to me;
Keep silent, and I will speak.
32 Then if [a]you have any speech, respond to me;
Speak, for I desire to prove you righteous.
33 If not, (A)listen to me;
Keep silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
Elihu Answers That God Will Be Just
34 Then Elihu answered and said,
2 “Hear my speech, you wise men,
And give ear to me, you who know.
3 For (B)the ear tests words
As the palate tastes food.
4 Let us choose for ourselves what is just;
Let us know among ourselves what is good.

33 If not, you must hear me;
be quiet, and I will teach you wisdom.

2 Hear my words, wise ones;
knowledgeable ones, listen to me,

let’s determine among ourselves what’s good;
