Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:17 - I will give my answer; I will put forward my knowledge:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:18 - For I am full of words, I am unable to keep in my breath any longer:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:19 - My stomach is like wine which is unable to get out; like skins full of new wine, it is almost burst.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:20 - Let me say what is in my mind, so that I may get comfort; let me give answer with open mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:21 - Let me not give respect to any man, or give names of honour to any living.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:22 - For I am not able to give names of honour to any man; and if I did, my Maker would quickly take me away.
