Job 34:34
Compare all
32 Teach me what I do not see;
If I have done iniquity, I will do no more’?
33 Should He repay it according to your terms,
Just because you disavow it?
You must choose, and not I;
Therefore speak what you know.
34 “Men of understanding say to me,
Wise men who listen to me:
35 ‘Joba speaks without knowledge,
His words are without wisdom.’ 
36 Oh, that Job were tried to the utmost,
Because his answers are like those of wicked men!
37 For he adds arebellion to his sin;
He claps his hands among us,
And multiplies his words against God.”

Job 34:34-35

Let men of understanding - Margin, as in Hebrew "heart." The "heart," as there has been frequent occasions to remark, in the Scriptures is often used to denote the seat of the mind or soul, as the head is with us. Rosenmuller, Umbreit, and Noyes, render this passage as if it were to be taken in connection with the following verse, "Men of understanding will say, and a wise man who hears my views will unite in saying, ' Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words are without wisdom.' " According to this, the two verses express a sentiment in which Elihu supposes every wise man who had attended to him would concur, that what Job had said was not founded in knowledge or on true wisdom.
