Job 32:12-20 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. And as long as I supposed that you were saying something, I considered; but now I see that there is none of you that is able to argue with Job and to respond to his words.

13. So that you will not say, "We have found wisdom," God has thrown him down, not man.

14. He has said nothing to me, and I will not respond to him according to your words.

15. Then they were filled with dread, and so they no longer responded, and they withdrew from their speechmaking.

16. Therefore, because I have waited and they have not been speaking, for they stood firm and did not respond at all,

17. I also will answer in my turn, and I will reveal my knowledge.

18. For I am full of words, and the feeling in my gut inspires me.

19. Yes, my stomach is like fermenting wine without a vent, which bursts the new containers.

20. I should speak, but I will also breathe a little; I will open my lips, and I will answer.
