3 Doesn’t the ear test wordsas the palate tastes food?
4 Let us judge for ourselves what is right;let us decide together what is good.
5 For Job has declared, “I am righteous,yet God has deprived me of justice.
6 Would I lie about my case? My wound is incurable,though I am without transgression.”
7 What man is like Job?He drinks derision like water.
8 He keeps company with evildoersand walks with wicked men.
9 For he has said, “A man gains nothingwhen he becomes God’s friend.”
