Job 34:1-9

View Full Chapter

1Then Elihu said:

2“Hear my words, you wise men; listen to me, you men of learning.

3For the ear tests words as the tongue tastes food.

4Let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.

5“Job says, ‘I am innocent, but God denies me justice.

6Although I am right, I am considered a liar; although I am guiltless, his arrow inflicts an incurable wound.’

7Is there anyone like Job, who drinks scorn like water?

8He keeps company with evildoers; he associates with the wicked.

9For he says, ‘There is no profit in trying to please God.’
