Job 34:1-9

Elihu continued his discourse and said, “Hear my words, you wise men, And listen to me, you who have [so much] knowledge. “For the ear puts words to the test As the palate tastes food. “Let us choose for ourselves that which is right; Let us know among ourselves what is good. “For Job has said, ‘I am righteous [and innocent], But God has taken away my right; [Job 33:9] Although I am right, I am accounted a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’ “What man is like Job, Who drinks up derision like water, Who goes in company with those who do evil And walks with wicked men? “For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing When he takes delight and is pleased with God and obeys Him.’
