Contextual Overview
1Elihu continued his discourse and said, 2"Hear my words, you wise men, And listen to me, you who have [so much] knowledge. 3"For the ear puts words to the test As the palate tastes food. 4"Let us choose for ourselves that which is right; Let us know among ourselves what is good.5"For Job has said, 'I am righteous [and innocent], But God has taken away my right; 6Although I am right, I am accounted a liar. My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.' 7"What man is like Job, Who drinks up derision like water, 8Who goes in company with those who do evil And walks with wicked men? 9"For he has said, 'It profits a man nothing When he takes delight and is pleased with God and obeys Him.'

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Let us choose to us judgments,.... Take the part of the question or controversy in which truth and justice lie, and he doubtless has respect to the present controversy with Job;
let us know among ourselves what [is] good; agree upon that which is best to be done in the present case, what judgment to be made of the dealings of God with Job, and his behaviour under them, and what the best advice to give to him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Let us choose to us judgment - That is, let us examine and explore what is true and right. Amidst the conflicting opinions, and the sentiments which have been advanced, let us find out what will abide the test of close investigation.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 34:4. Let us choose to us judgment — Let us not seek the applause of men, nor contend for victory. Let our aim be to obtain correct views and notions of all things; and let us labour to find out what is good.
