Job 32:15-22
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 “They are dismayed; they answer no more;
they have not a word to say.
16 And am I to wait because they do not speak,
because they stand there and answer no more?
17 I also will give my answer;
I also will declare my opinion.
18 For I am full of words;
the spirit within me constrains me.(A)
19 My belly is indeed like wine that has no vent;
like new wineskins, it is ready to burst.(B)
20 I must speak, so that I may find relief;
I must open my lips and answer.
21 I will not show partiality to any person
or use flattery toward anyone.(C)
22 For I do not know how to flatter—
or my Maker would soon put an end to me!(D)
Job 32:15-22
New American Standard Bible
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.
