Job 32:15–17

15 “They are dismayed and have no more to say;

words have failed them.

16 Must I wait, now that they are silent,

now that they stand there with no reply?

17 I too will have my say;

I too will tell what I know.

15 They were amazed, they answered no more:

They left off speaking.

16 When I had waited, (for they spake not,

But stood still, and answered no more;)

17 I said, I will answer also my part,

I also will shew mine opinion.

15 You sit there baffled,

with nothing more to say.

16 Should I continue to wait, now that you are silent?

Must I also remain silent?

17 No, I will say my piece.

I will speak my mind.

15 “They are dismayed and answer no more;

Words escape them.

16 And I have waited, because they did not speak,

Because they stood still and answered no more.

17 I also will answer my part,

I too will declare my opinion.

15 “These three friends are defeated and have no more to say;

words have failed them.

16 Now they are standing there with no answers for Job.

Now that they are quiet, must I wait to speak?

17 No, I too will speak

and tell what I know.

15 They are amazed, they answer no more:

They have not a word to say.

16 And shall I wait, because they speak not,

Because they stand still, and answer no more?

17 I also will answer my part,

I also will show mine opinion.

15 They were amazed, they answered no more; words failed them. 16 And I waited, for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more; — 17 I will answer, I also in my turn, I also will shew what I know:

15 “Job’s friends have been overwhelmed and don’t have any more answers. 

They don’t have another word to say. 

16 Should I wait because they don’t speak, 

because they stand there and don’t have any more answers? 

17 “I’ll give my answer. 

I’ll tell you what I know. 

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;

yes, I will tell what I know.

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.

15 “They are dismayed; they no longer answer;

they have nothing to say.

16 And I have waited because they do not speak,

because they stand there and no longer answer.

17 I myself will answer my share also;

I myself will declare my knowledge also,

15 “Job, those men are afraid.

They don’t have anything else to say.

They’ve run out of words.

16 Do I have to keep on waiting, now that they are silent?

They are just standing there with nothing to say.

17 I too have something to say.

I too will tell what I know.

15 “They are dismayed, they no longer answer;

Words have failed them.

16 “Shall I wait, because they do not speak,

Because they stop and no longer answer?

17 “I too will answer my share,

I also will tell my opinion.
