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 "So, my fine friends - listen to me, and see what you think of this.
3 Isn't it just common sense - as common as the sense of taste -
4 To put our heads together and figure out what's going on here?
5 "We've all heard Job say, 'I'm in the right, but God won't give me a fair trial.
6 When I defend myself, I'm called a liar to my face. I've done nothing wrong, and I get punished anyway.'
