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.
22. For I know nothing of flattery;if I did, my Maker would soon take me away.
