Job’s Friends Failed to Answer34

32:15 “They are dismayed35 and cannot answer any more;

they have nothing left to say.36

32:16 And I have waited.37 But because they do not speak,

because they stand there and answer no more,

32:17 I too will answer my part,

I too will explain what I know.

32:18 For I am full of words,

and the spirit within me38 constrains me.39

32:19 Inside I am like wine which has no outlet,40

like new wineskins41 ready to burst!

32:20 I will speak,42 so that I may find relief;

I will open my lips, so that I may answer.

32:21 I will not show partiality to anyone,43

nor will I confer a title44 on any man.

32:22 for I do not know how to give honorary titles,45

if I did,46 my Creator would quickly do away with me.47
