2 Hear my words, ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
3 For the ear trieth words, as the palate tasteth meat.
4 Let us choose for us that which is right: let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 For Job hath said, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my right:
6 Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar; my wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.
7 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
8 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
