Job 32:11-22

11"Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your wise sayings, while you searched out what to say.

12I gave you my attention, and, behold, there was none among you who refuted Job or who answered his words.

13Beware lest you say, 'We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not a man.'

14He has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your speeches.

15"They are dismayed; they answer no more; they have not a word to say.

16And shall I wait, because they do not speak, because they stand there, and answer no more?

17I also will answer with my share; I also will declare my opinion.

18For I am full of words; the spirit within me constrains me.

19Behold, my belly is like wine that has no vent; like new wineskins ready to burst.

20I must speak, that I may find relief; I must open my lips and answer.

21I will not show partiality to any man or use flattery toward any person.

22For I do not know how to flatter, else my Maker would soon take me away.
