ISV(i)
3 Since the ear tests words like a palate tastes food,
4 let’s choose what’s right for us. Let’s consider among ourselves what is good.”
5Elihu Reviews Job’s Complaint against God’s InjusticeNow this is Job’s claim: ‘Even though I’m innocent, God has stopped treating me righteously.
6 Have I lied concerning the justice that I deserve? My wound is incurable, though transgression cannot be attributed to me.’
7 “What man is like Job, who drinks mockery like water,
8 traffics in those who practice evil, and walks with wicked people?
9 Because he says, ‘There’s no profit for a man to find joy with God.’”
