Job 34:4 In-Context

2 "Hear what I'm saying, you wise men. Listen to me, you who have learned so much.

3 Our tongues tell us what tastes good and what doesn't. And our ears tell us what's true and what isn't.

4 So let's choose for ourselves what is right. Let's learn together what is good.

5 "Job says, 'I'm not guilty of doing anything wrong. But God doesn't treat me fairly.

6 Even though I'm right, he thinks I'm a liar. Even though I'm not guilty, his arrows give me wounds that can't be healed.'
