For the ear doth try words, And the palate tasteth to eat.
Doth not the ear try words? And the palate taste food for itself?
Yea, I have not suffered my mouth to sin, To ask with an oath his life.
Lo, I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath spoken in the palate.
Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me.
Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what `is' good.
Is there in my tongue perverseness? Discerneth not my palate desirable things?
and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;
and of perfect men is the strong food, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, unto the discernment both of good and of evil.
