Job 6:30

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

Is there iniquity in my tongue? if my palate shall not understand calamities.

See the chapter Copy

Shall not the ear try words? and the palate shall taste food to it?

Shall that unseasoned be eaten without salt? if there is taste in purslain slime?

And firm food is of the perfected, of them by habit having the senses exercised for the separation of good and evil.

For the ear will try words, and the palate will taste of food

And he will recognise it, and will say, My son's tunic an evil beast devoured him: tearing in pieces, he tare Joseph in pieces.

And thou wilt say, My instruction is pure, and I was clean in thine eyes.
