4 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
4 Let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.
4 Let us choose what is right; let us know among ourselves what is good.
4 To put our heads together and figure out what's going on here?
4 Let us choose justice for ourselves; Let us know among ourselves what is good.
4 So let us discern for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 34:4
Commentary on Job 34:1-9
(Read Job 34:1-9)
Elihu calls upon those present to decide with him upon Job's words. The plainest Christian, whose mind is enlightened, whose heart is sanctified by the Spirit of God, and who is versed in the Scriptures, can say how far matters, words, or actions, agree with true religion, better than any that lean to their own understandings. Job had spoken as if he meant wholly to justify himself. He that say, I have cleansed my hands in vain, does not only offend against God's children, Psalm 73:13-15, but gratifies his enemies, and says as they say.
