Job 34 — Context

Give ear, you wise, to my words; and you who have knowledge, give attention to me;

For words are tested by the ear, as food is tasted by the mouth.

Let us make the decision for ourselves as to what is right; let us have the knowledge among ourselves of what is good.

For Job has said, I am upright, and it is God who has taken away my right;

Though I am right, still I am in pain; my wound may not be made well, though I have done no wrong.

What man is like Job, a man who freely makes sport of God,

And goes in the company of evil-doers, walking in the way of sinners?
