Job 32:15-22

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁵ “Job’s friends have been overwhelmed and don’t have any more answers.
They don’t have another word to say.
¹⁶ Should I wait because they don’t speak,
because they stand there and don’t have any more answers?

¹⁷ “I’ll give my answer.
I’ll tell you what I know.
¹⁸ I’m full of words.
The Spirit within me forces me ⌞to speak⌟.
¹⁹ My belly is like ⌞a bottle of⌟ wine that has not been opened,
like new wineskins that are ready to burst.
²⁰ I must speak to get relief.
I must open my mouth and answer.
²¹ I won’t be partial toward anyone
or flatter anyone.
²² I don’t know how to flatter.
If I did, my maker would soon carry me away.
