Iyov 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.

Iyov 34:34 In-Context

32 Teach Thou me what I see not; im (if) I have done iniquity, I will do no more?

33 Will He then recompense to suit you, just because you disavow it? Thou must choose, not I; therefore speak that of which thou hast da’as.

34 Let anshei levav (men of understanding) say to me, and let a gever chacham who pays heed unto me say,

35 Iyov hath spoken without da’as, and his words were without seichel.

36 Iyov ought to be tried unto the limit, because his answers are those of anshei aven.
