Job 34:2
1 Then Elihu continued:
“Hear my words, O wise men; give ear to me, O men of learning.
3 For the ear tests words as the mouth tastes food.
4 Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
