Job 6:30

American Standard Version (1901)

Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern mischievous things?

See the chapter Copy

Doth not the ear try words, Even as the palate tasteth its food?

Can that which hath no savor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

For the ear trieth words, As the palate tasteth food.

And he knew it, and said, It is my son’s coat: an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt torn in pieces.

For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, And I am clean in thine eyes.
