“Listen to my words, you wise men; hear me, you learned men.
Elihu answered:
For the ear assesses words as the mouth tastes food.
(Let the wise also hear and gain instruction, and let the discerning acquire guidance!)
I am speaking to thoughtful people. Consider what I say.
Brothers and sisters, do not be children in your thinking. Instead, be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.
