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, you wise men, and listen to me, you who know,
3 for [the] ear tests words, and [the] palate tastes {food}.
4 Let us choose justice for ourselves; let us determine among ourselves what [is] good--
5 for Job has said, 'I am righteous, but God has taken away my justice.
6 Should I lie concerning my justice? [Though I am] without transgression, my wound caused by an arrow is incurable.'
