10. Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
11. Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
12. Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none that convinced Job, or that answered his words, among you.
13. Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man:
14. For he hath not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
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 shew mine opinion.
18. For I am full of words; the spirit within me constraineth me.
19. Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; like new bottles it is ready to burst.
20. I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
21. Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.
22. For I know not to give flattering titles; else would my Maker soon take me away.
