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.
