Job 32:15-22

Amplified Bible

¹⁵ 
“They (Job’s friends) are dismayed and embarrassed, they no longer answer;
The words have moved away and failed them,” [says Elihu].
¹⁶ 
“And shall I wait, because they say nothing,
But stand still and say no more?
¹⁷ 
“I too will give my share of answers;
I too will express my opinion and share my knowledge.
¹⁸ 
“For I am full of words;
The spirit within me constrains me.
¹⁹ 
“My belly is like unvented wine;
Like new wineskins it is about to burst.
²⁰ 
“I must speak so that I may get relief;
I will open my lips and answer.
²¹ 
“I will not [I warn you] be partial to any man [that is, let my respect for you mitigate what I say];
Nor flatter any man.
²² 
“For I do not know how to flatter, [in an appropriate way, and I fear that],
My Maker would soon take me away.
