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)
