Job 34 — Context

Elihu’s Second Speech Elihu answered:

“Listen to my words, you wise men; hear me, you learned men.

For the ear assesses words as the mouth tastes food.

Let us evaluate for ourselves what is right; let us come to know among ourselves what is good.

For Job says,‘I am innocent, but God turns away my right.

Concerning my right, should I lie? My wound is incurable, although I am without transgression.’

What man is like Job, who drinks derision like water!
