Job 32 — Context

"They are amazed. They answer no more. They don't have a word to say.

Shall I wait, because they don't speak, because they stand still, and answer no more?

I also will answer my part, and I also will show my opinion.

For I am full of words. The spirit within me constrains me.

Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent; like new wineskins it is ready to burst.

I will speak, that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.

Please don't let me respect any man's person, neither will I give flattering titles to any man.
