Job 32:15-22
World English Bible
15 “They are amazed. They answer no more.
They don’t have a word to say.
16 Shall I wait, because they don’t speak,
because they stand still, and answer no more?
17 I also will answer my part,
and I also will show my opinion.
18 For I am full of words.
The spirit within me constrains me.
19 Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent;
like new wineskins it is ready to burst.
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed.
I will open my lips and answer.
21 Please don’t let me respect any man’s person,
neither will I give flattering titles to any man.
22 For I don’t know how to give flattering titles,
or else my Maker would soon take me away.
Job 32:15-22
Lexham English Bible
15 “They are dismayed; they no longer answer;
they have nothing to say.[a]
16 And I have waited because they do not speak,
because they stand there and no longer answer.
17 I myself will answer my share also;
I myself will declare my knowledge also,
18 for I am full of words;[b]
the spirit within me[c] urges me.
19 “Look, my internal organs are like unopened wine,
like new wineskins it[d] is ready to burst open.
20 Let me speak that I may find relief;[e]
let me open my lips, and let me answer.
21 Please let me not show partiality to anyone,[f]
and let me not show flattery to human beings,
22 for I do not know how to flatter,[g]
else my Maker would soon[h] put an end to me.
