Job 32:15-22

Common English Bible

¹⁵ They are troubled, no longer answer;
    words now escape them.
¹⁶ I waited, but they didn’t speak,
    for they stood but answered no more.
¹⁷ I will answer. Indeed, I will state^[a] my piece;
    I too will declare my view,
¹⁸         for I’m full of words.
The spirit in my belly compels me.
¹⁹     Look, my belly is like unopened wine;
        like new wineskins it will burst.
²⁰ I will speak and get relief;
    I will open my lips and respond.
²¹ I won’t be partial to anyone,
        won’t flatter a person;
²²         for I don’t know flattery;
    otherwise my maker would quickly whisk me away.
