Text -- Job 32:14-22 (NET)
![](images/arrow_open.gif)
Strongs On/Off
Context
32:14 Job has not directed his words to me, and so I will not reply to him with your arguments .
Job’s Friends Failed to Answer
32:15 “They are dismayed and cannot answer any more ; they have nothing left to say .
32:16 And I have waited . But because they do not speak , because they stand there and answer no more ,
32:17 I too will answer my part , I too will explain what I know .
32:18 For I am full of words , and the spirit within me constrains me.
32:19 Inside I am like wine which has no outlet , like new wineskins ready to burst !
32:20 I will speak , so that I may find relief ; I will open my lips , so that I may answer .
32:21 I will not show partiality to anyone , nor will I confer a title on any man .
32:22 for I do not know how to give honorary titles , if I did, my Creator would quickly do away with me.
