New American Standard Bible
Chapter 34
1Then Elihu continued and said,
2'Hear my words, you wise men, And listen to me, you who understand.
3For the ear tests words As the palate tastes food.
4Let us choose for ourselves what is right; Let us understand among ourselves what is good.
5For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, But God has taken away my right;
6 Should I lie about my right? My wound is incurable, though I am without wrongdoing.’

1Then Elihu continued, saying:
2Hear my words, you wise ones, and listen to me, you knowledgeable ones.
3Doesn’t the ear test words as the palate tastes food?
4Let us judge for ourselves what is right; let us decide together what is good.
5For Job has declared, "I am righteous, yet God has deprived me of justice.
6Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression."
