Job 33:31-34:4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

31 Pay heed, Job, listen to me;
    be silent, 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;
    be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”(A)

Elihu Proclaims God’s Justice

34 Then Elihu continued and said:

2 “Hear my words, you wise men,
    and give ear to me, you who know,
3 for the ear tests words
    as the palate tastes food.(B)
4 Let us choose what is right;
    let us determine among ourselves what is good.(C)

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.
