Job 32:15-22
Authorized (King James) Version
15 They were amazed, they answered no more:
they left off speaking.
16 When I had waited, (for they spake not,
but stood still, and answered no more;)
17 I said, I will answer also my part,
I also will shew mine opinion.
18 For I am full of matter,
the spirit within me constraineth me.
19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent;
it is ready to burst like new bottles.
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed:
I will open my lips and answer.
21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person,
neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
22 For I know not to give flattering titles;
in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
Job 32:15-22
21st Century King James Version
15 “They were amazed, they answered no more; they left off speaking.
16 When I had waited (for they spoke not, but stood still and answered no more),
17 I said, ‘I will answer also my part; I also will show mine opinion.
18 For I am full of matters; the spirit within me constraineth me.
19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new wineskins.’
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
22 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my Maker would soon take me away.
