Job 32:11-22 Common English Bible (CEB)

11. Look, I waited while you spoke,listened while you reasoned,while you searched for words.

12. I was attentive to you,but you offered no rebuke to Job,no answer from you for his words.

13. Be careful you don’t say, "We’ve found wisdom;God, not a person, will defeat him."

14. Now Job hasn’t addressed me,and I won’t quote you to him.

15. They are troubled, no longer answer;words now escape them.

16. I waited, but they didn’t speak,for they stood but answered no more.

17. I will answer. Indeed, I will state my piece;I too will declare my view,

18. for I’m full of words.The spirit in my belly compels me.

19. Look, my belly is like unopened wine;like new wineskins it will burst.

20. I will speak and get relief;I will open my lips and respond.

21. I won’t be partial to anyone,won’t flatter a person;

22. for I don’t know flattery;otherwise my maker would quickly whisk me away.
