12 I paid close attention to you.Yet no one proved Job wrong;not one of you refuted his arguments.
13 So do not claim, “We have found wisdom;let God deal with him, not man.”
14 But Job has not directed his argument to me,and I will not respond to him with your arguments.
15 Job’s friends are dismayed and can no longer answer;words have left them.
16 Should I continue to wait now that they are silent,now that they stand there and no longer answer?
17 I too will answer; yes, I will tell what I know.
18 For I am full of words,and my spirit compels me to speak.
