For the ear tries words as the palate tastes food.
Does not the ear try words, even as the palate tastes its food?
But truly the spiritual man evaluates all things, but he himself is evaluated by none.
But solid food is for mature men, those having their sensibilities trained through practice for the discernment of both good and evil.
Behold now, I have opened my mouth. My tongue has spoken in my mouth.
(yea, I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse);
Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern mischievous things?
Hear my words, ye wise men, and give ear to me, ye who have knowledge.
Let us choose for us that which is right. Let us know among ourselves what is good.
