Job 32:14-21 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

14. Job hasn't directed his words against me. I won't answer him with your arguments.

15. "Job, those men are afraid. They don't have anything else to say. They've run out of words.

16. Do I have to keep on waiting, now that they are silent? They are just standing there with nothing to say.

17. I too have something to say. I too will tell what I know.

18. I'm full of words. My spirit inside me forces me to speak.

19. Inside I'm like wine that is bottled up. I'm like new wineskins ready to burst.

20. I must speak so I can feel better. I must open my mouth and reply.

21. I'll treat everyone the same. I won't praise anyone without meaning it.
