“Listen to the things I say,\par you wise men.\par Pay attention to me,\par you smart men.\par
Then Elihu continued talking. He said:
Your tongue tastes the food it touches.\par And your ear tests the words it hears.\par
Even wise people should listen to these words. They will learn more and become even wiser. And people who are skilled at solving problems will gain even more understanding.
I am speaking to you like you are intelligent people; judge for yourselves what I say.
Brothers and sisters, don’t think like children. In evil things be like babies. But in your thinking you should be like full-grown people.
