2 May the wise hear my words, and may the educated listen to me.
3 For the ear examines words, and the mouth discerns foods by the taste.
4 Let us choose judgment for ourselves, and let us consider among ourselves what is best.
5 For Job has said: "I am just, yet God has subverted my judgment.
6 For, within my judgment, there is a lie: my vehement barbs are without any sin."
7 What man is there that is like Job, who drinks up derision as if it were water,
8 who accompanies those who work iniquity, and who walks with impious men?
