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 Hear my words, wise ones; knowledgeable ones, listen to me,
3 for the ear tests words like the palate tastes food.
4 Let's choose for us what's right; let's determine among ourselves what's good;
5 for Job has said, "I'm innocent; God has denied my just cause;
6 because of my cause I'm thought a liar; my wound from an arrow is incurable, even though I didn't rebel."
