Job 34:3-9

LEB(i) 3 for the ear tests words, and the palate tastes food.* 4 Let us choose justice for ourselves; let us determine among ourselves what is good— 5 for Job has said, 'I am righteous, but God has taken away my justice. 6 Should I lie concerning my justice? Though I am without transgression, my wound caused by an arrow is incurable.' 7 What man is like Job, who drinks scorn like water? 8 And he goes on the road in company with instigators of mischief, and walks with men of wickedness. 9 Indeed, he says, 'A man does not profit when he takes delight in God.'
