Understanding God's Heart For Us in Song
13 Beware lest you say, ‘We have found wisdom. God may refute him, not man;’
14 for he has not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.
15 “They are amazed. They answer no more. They don’t have a word to say.
16 Shall I wait, because they don’t speak, because they stand still, and answer no more?
17 I also will answer my part, and I also will show my opinion.
18 For I am full of words. The spirit within me constrains me.
19 Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent; like new wineskins it is ready to burst.
20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed. I will open my lips and answer.
21 Please don’t let me respect any man’s person, neither will I give flattering titles to any man.
22 For I don’t know how to give flattering titles, or else my Maker would soon take me away.
