15. “They are dismayed and answer no more;Words escape them.
16. 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.
