2. “Hear my words, you wise men;Give ear to me, you who have knowledge.
3. For the ear tests wordsAs the palate tastes food.
4. Let us choose justice for ourselves;Let us know 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 right?My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
7. What man is like Job,Who drinks scorn like water,
8. Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity,And walks with wicked men?
