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)
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.
Job 32:15-22
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.
