Job 32:15-22

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁵ Job’s friends are dismayed and can no longer answer;
words have left them.
¹⁶ Should I continue to wait now that they are silent,
now that they stand there and no longer answer?
¹⁷ I too will answer;^[a]
yes, I will tell what I know.
¹⁸ For I am full of words,
and my spirit^[b] compels me to speak.^(A)
19 My heart^[c] is like unvented wine;
it is about to burst like new wineskins.^(B)
20 I must speak so that I can find relief;
I must open my lips and respond.
²¹ I will be partial to no one,^(C)
and I will not give anyone an undeserved title.
²² For I do not know how to give such titles;
otherwise, my Maker would remove me in an instant.
