Job 12:11

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

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

Is there wrong in my tongue? cannot my taste discern mischievous things?

I speak as to intelligent persons: do ye judge what I say.

that ye may judge of and approve the things that are more excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence for Christ's day,

but solid food belongs to full-grown men, who, on account of habit, have their senses exercised for distinguishing both good and evil.

if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is good.

Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?

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

I speak as to intelligent persons: do ye judge what I say.

that ye may judge of and approve the things that are more excellent, in order that ye may be pure and without offence for Christ's day,

if indeed ye have tasted that the Lord is good.

Is there wrong in my tongue? cannot my taste discern mischievous things?
