Job 32:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 32:18

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.
