15 “They are dismayed, they no longer answer;
Words have [a]failed them.
16 Should I wait, because they are not speaking,
Because they have [b]stopped and no longer answer?
17 I too will [c]give my share of answers;
I also will tell my opinion.
18 For I am full of words;
The spirit within me compels me.
19 Behold, my belly is like unvented wine;
Like new wineskins, it is about to burst.
20 Let me speak so that I may get relief;
Let me open my lips and answer.
21 Let me (A)be partial to no one,
Nor flatter any man.
22 For I do not know how to flatter,
Otherwise my Maker would quickly take me away.
