2 “Listen to my words, you wise men;hear me, you learned men.
3 For the ear assesses wordsas the mouth tastes food.
4 Let us evaluate for ourselves what is right;let us come to know among ourselves what is good.
5 For Job says, ‘I am innocent,but God turns away my right.
6 Concerning my right, should I lie?My wound is incurable,although I am without transgression.’
7 What man is like Job,who drinks derision like water!
8 He goes about in company with evildoers,he goes along with wicked men.
