Job 34:3

Job 34:3 For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.

Ver. 3. For the ear trieth words ] And for that end we have that excellent sense of hearing given us, that we may hear with judgment, and trying all things, hold fast that which is good, 1 Thessalonians 5:21 , taking heed what we hear, Mark 4:24 , as by the taste we may take heed what we let down; for else a man may easily eat his own bane, drink his poison: so here, for the soul hath her senses also, Philippians 1:9 , and these habitually exercised to discern good and evil, Hebrews 5:14 . Which while carnal people want, they are carried away as they are led, 1 Corinthians 12:2 ; plucked away with the error of the wicked, 2 Peter 3:17 ; wherried about with every wind of doctrine, Hebrews 13:9 , &c.
