Job 34:4 Meaning and Commentary

Job 34:4

Let us choose to us judgments
Take the part of the question or controversy in which truth and justice lie, and he doubtless has respect to the present controversy with Job;

let us know among ourselves what [is] good;
agree upon that which is best to be done in the present case, what judgment to be made of the dealings of God with Job, and his behaviour under them, and what the best advice to give to him.

Job 34:4 In-Context

2 "Listen to my words, you wise men. Open your ears to me, you intelligent men.
3 The ear tests words like the tongue tastes food.
4 Let's decide for ourselves what is right and agree among ourselves as to what is good,
5 because Job has said, 'I'm righteous, but God has taken away my rights.
6 I'm considered a liar in spite of my rights. I've been wounded by a deadly arrow, though I haven't been disobedient.'
