Job 32:11 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 32:11

9 ^aGreat¹ men are not always wise,
Nor do the aged always understand justice.

10 “Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me,
I also will declare my opinion.’

11 Indeed I waited for your words,
I listened to your reasonings, while you searched out what to say.

12 I paid close attention to you;
And surely not one of you convinced Job,
Or answered his words—

13 ^aLest you say,
‘We have found wisdom’;
God will vanquish him, not man.

14 Now he has not¹ directed his words against me;
So I will not answer him with your words.

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 my¹ belly is like wine that has no² 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 ^aaway.
