12. Yes, I followed you attentively:And look, none of you has convicted Job,not one could refute his statements.
13. So do not say, “We have met wisdom;God can vanquish him but no mortal!”
14. For had he addressed his words to me,I would not then have answered him with your words.
15. They are dismayed, they make no more reply;words fail them.
16. Must I wait? Now that they speak no more,and have ceased to make reply,
17. I too will speak my part;I also will declare my knowledge!
18. For I am full of words;the spirit within me compels me.
19. My belly is like unopened wine,like wineskins ready to burst.
20. Let me speak and obtain relief;let me open my lips, and reply.
21. I would not be partial to anyone,nor give flattering titles to any.
