Job 12:11 - Exposition

Doth not the ear try words? and the month taste his meat? rather, as the palate tasteth its meat? ( see the Revised Version). In other words, "Is it not as much the business of the ear to discriminate between wise and unwise words, as of the palate to determine between pleasant and unpleasant tastes?" The bearing of the verse on the general argument is not clear.
