And I have waited, because they did not speak, Because they stood still and answered no more.
17
I also will answer my part, I too will declare my opinion.
18
For I am full of words; The spirit within me compels me.
19
Indeed my belly is like wine that has no vent; It is ready to burst like new wineskins.
20
I will speak, that I may find relief; I must open my lips and answer.
21
Let me not, I pray, show partiality to anyone; Nor let me flatter any man.
22
For I do not know how to flatter, Else my Maker would soon take me away.
