11
Indeed I waited for your words, I listened to your reasonings, while you searched out what to say.
12
Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
12
I paid close attention to you; And surely not one of you convinced Job, [Or] answered his words --
13
Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
13
Lest you say, 'We have found wisdom'; God will vanquish him, not man.

Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.

16
When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
16
And I have waited, because they did not speak, Because they stood still [and] answered no more.
17

Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
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 be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
20
I will speak, that I may find relief; I must open my lips and answer.

Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
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.
