12. And I directed my attention to you; and, look, there is no one for Job who refuted, answering his words among you.
13. So do not say, ‘We have found wisdom; let God refute him, not a man.’
14. But he did not direct his words to me, and I will not answer him with your words.
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,
18. for I am full of words; the spirit within me urges me.
19. “Look, my internal organs are like unopened wine, like new wineskins it is ready to burst open.
20. Let me speak that I may find relief; let me open my lips, and let me answer.
21. Please let me not show partiality to anyone, and let me not show flattery to human beings,
22. for I do not know how to flatter, else my Maker would soon put an end to me.
