1. Elihu continued:
2. Hear my words, wise ones;knowledgeable ones, listen to me,
3. for the ear tests wordslike the palate tastes food.
4. Let’s choose for us what’s right;let’s determine among ourselves what’s good;
5. for Job has said, "I’m innocent;God has denied my just cause;
6. because of my cause I’m thought a liar;my wound from an arrow is incurable, even though I didn’t rebel."
7. Who is a man like Job?He drinks mockery like water
8. and travels a path with wrongdoers,walking with evil persons.
