Job 33:31-34:4
Modern English Version
31 “Pay attention, Job, listen to me;
hold your peace, and I will speak.
32 If you have anything to say, answer me;
speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 If not, listen to me; hold your peace,
and I will teach you wisdom.”
Elihu Proclaims God’s Justice
34 Furthermore Elihu answered and said:
2 “Hear my words, O you wise men;
and give ear unto me, you that have knowledge.
3 For the ear tests words,
as the mouth tastes food.
4 Let us choose justice for ourselves;
let us know among ourselves what is good.
Job 33:31-34:4
21st Century King James Version
31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me; hold thy peace, and I will speak.
32 If thou hast any thing 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:
2 “Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
3 For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
4 Let us choose for us judgment; let us know among ourselves what is good.
