Job 32:15-22
Modern English Version
Job 32:15-22
Modern English Version
15 “They are amazed; they answer no more;
they cease speaking.
16 And I have waited,
(for they did not speak, but stood still and answered no more).
17 I said, ‘I also will answer my part;
I too will show my opinion.’
18 For I am full of words;
the spirit within me compels me.
19 See, my belly is like wine that has no vent;
it is ready to burst like new wineskins.
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed;
I will open my lips and answer.
21 Let me not, I pray, show partiality to anyone,
nor let me give flattering titles to man.
22 For I do not know how to give flattering titles;
in so doing my Maker would soon take me away.
Job 32:15-22
Authorized (King James) Version
Job 32:15-22
Authorized (King James) Version
15 They were amazed, they answered no more:
they left off speaking.
16 When I had waited, (for they spake not,
but stood still, and answered no more;)
17 I said, I will answer also my part,
I also will shew mine opinion.
18 For I am full of matter,
the spirit within me constraineth me.
19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent;
it is ready to burst like new bottles.
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed:
I will open my lips and answer.
21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person,
neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
22 For I know not to give flattering titles;
in so doing my maker would soon take me away.

Job 32:15-22
New International Version
15 “They are dismayed and have no more to say;
words have failed them.(A)
16 Must I wait, now that they are silent,
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)
