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 Wise men, hear ye my words, and learned men, harken ye (to) me;
3 for the ear proveth words, and the throat deemeth meat by taste (and the tongue judgeth food by taste).
4 Choose we doom to us (Let us use judgement); and see we among us, what is the better.
5 For Job said, I am just, and God hath turned my justness upside-down. (For Job said, I am innocent, but God hath turned my justice, or my sentence, upside-down.)
6 For why leasing is in deeming me, and mine arrow is violent without any sin. (For lies be used in judging me, and my wound is fatal, yet I am without any sin.)
