In Job 12:11, Job asks 'Does not the ear try words?' — nearly identical to Elihu's proverb about tasting.

Job 6:6 uses the same taste metaphor — just as food is judged by taste, words are judged by the ear.

In Job 6:30, Job uses the taste metaphor for discernment, similar to Elihu's 'ear tries words' analogy.

Isaiah 11:3 says the Messiah will not judge by what his ears hear — contrasting with Job 34:3's principle that the ear tests words.

1 Corinthians 10:15 calls believers to judge what is said — the same testing of words that Job 34:3 describes as ear testing like taste.
