Job 32:15-22
Christian Standard Bible
15 Job’s friends are dismayed and can no longer answer;
words have left them.
16 Should I continue to wait now that they are silent,
now that they stand there and no longer answer?
17 I too will answer;[a]
yes, I will tell what I know.
18 For I am full of words,
and my spirit[b] compels me to speak.(A)
19 My heart[c] is like unvented wine;
it is about to burst like new wineskins.(B)
20 I must speak so that I can find relief;
I must open my lips and respond.
21 I will be partial to no one,(C)
and I will not give anyone an undeserved title.
22 For I do not know how to give such titles;
otherwise, my Maker would remove me in an instant.
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.
