15 “These three friends are defeated and have no more to say;
    words have failed them.
16 Now they are standing there with no answers for Job.
    Now that they are quiet, must I wait to speak?

    and tell what I know.
18 I am full of words,
    and the spirit in me causes me to speak.
19 I am like wine that has been bottled up;
    I am ready to burst like a new leather wine bag.
20 I must speak so I will feel relief;
    I must open my mouth and answer.

    and not flatter anyone.
22 I don’t know how to flatter,
    and if I did, my Maker would quickly take me away.
