Context of Job 34:4
2Hear my words, ye wise [men]; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. 3For the ear trieth words, as the palate tasteth food. Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us know among ourselves what is good! 5For Job hath said, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my judgment: 6Should I lie against my right? My wound is incurable without transgression.
