King James Version
Job 32:11-22
11Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.12
12Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
13Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
14Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.3
15They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.4
16When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
17I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
18For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.56
19Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.7
20I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.8
21Let me not, I pray you, accept any man’s person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
22For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
