Job 32:20

English Standard Version 2016

I must speak, that I may find relief; I must open my lips and answer.

See the chapter Copy

Bear with me, and I will speak, and after I have spoken, mock on.

“Therefore my thoughts answer me, because of my haste within me.

Who is there who will contend with me? For then I would be silent and die.

“Let me have silence, and I will speak, and let come on me what may.

Behold, my belly is like wine that has no vent; like new wineskins ready to burst.

I will not show partiality to any man or use flattery toward any person.

“If one ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? Yet who can keep from speaking?
