Job 34:5

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.

For Job has declared, ‘I am righteous, yet God has deprived me of justice.

6 Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’

7 What man is like Job, who drinks up derision like water?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
