16. Must I wait, now that they are silent,now that they stand there with no reply?
17. I too will have my say;I too will tell what I know.
18. For I am full of words,and the spirit within me compels me;
19. inside I am like bottled-up wine,like new wineskins ready to burst.
20. I must speak and find relief;I must open my lips and reply.
21. I will show no partiality,nor will I flatter anyone;
22. for if I were skilled in flattery,my Maker would soon take me away.
