Job 32:15-22
Evangelical Heritage Version
Job 32:15-22
Evangelical Heritage Version
15 Those three are shattered. They no longer respond.
They have run out of words.
16 I have waited patiently,
but since they no longer speak,
and they just stand there and do not answer anymore,
17 I will now respond with my contribution.
I will now declare what I know,
18 for I am full of words.
A wind[a] in my belly is building up pressure.
19 My belly is like unvented wine.
I am like a new wineskin ready to burst.
20 I intend to speak, so that I can find relief for myself.
Let me open my lips and answer.
21 I will certainly not show favoritism to any man.
I will not address any man with flattering titles,
22 because I do not know how to pass out flattering titles.
If I did so, my Maker would quickly carry me away.

New International Version
15 “They are dismayed and have no more to say;
words have failed them.(A)

now that they stand there with no reply?
17 I too will have my say;
I too will tell what I know.(B)
18 For I am full of words,
and the spirit(C) within me compels me;(D)
19 inside I am like bottled-up wine,
like new wineskins ready to burst.(E)
20 I must speak and find relief;
I must open my lips and reply.(F)
21 I will show no partiality,(G)
nor will I flatter anyone;(H)
22 for if I were skilled in flattery,
my Maker(I) would soon take me away.(J)
