Job 34:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 34:5

3 ^aFor the ear tests words
As the palate tastes food.

4 Let us choose justice for ourselves;
Let us know among ourselves what is good.

5 “For Job has said, ^a‘I am righteous,
But ^bGod has taken away my justice;

6 ^aShould I lie concerning my¹ right?
My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’

7 What man is like Job,
^aWho drinks¹ scorn like water,

8 Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity,
And walks with wicked men?

9 For ^ahe has said, ‘It profits a man nothing
That he should delight in God.’
