Job 12:11

Does not the ear test words as the palate tastes food?

for the ear tests words as the palate tastes food.

Is there any injustice on my tongue? Cannot my palate discern the cause of calamity?

I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say.

so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.

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

for the ear tests words as the palate tastes food.

I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say.

so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,

if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.

Is there any injustice on my tongue? Cannot my palate discern the cause of calamity?
