Job 34:34 Meaning and Commentary

Job 34:34

Let men of understanding tell me
Whether I am right or wrong:

and let a wise man hearken unto me;
to what I have said or shall say. Elihu here addresses the company around him, the wise and intelligent part of them; the words may be rendered in the future tense, men of understanding "will" tell me ^F14, and a wise man "will" hearken to me and assent, not only to what I have said, but to what I am about to say, namely, what follows.

Job 34:34 In-Context

32 Teach me that which I don't see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more'?

33 Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know.

34 Men of understanding will tell me, Yes, every wise man who hears me:

35 'Job speaks without knowledge, His words are without wisdom.'

36 I wish that Job were tried to the end, Because of his answering like wicked men.
