Bible verse
Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand and no longer reply?
Job 32:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 32.
12 I paid you full attention. But no one proved Job wrong; not one of you rebutted his arguments.
13 So do not claim, ‘We have found wisdom; let God, not man, refute him.’
14 But Job has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.
15 Job’s friends are dismayed, with no more to say; words have escaped them.
16 Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand and no longer reply?
17 I too will answer; yes, I will declare what I know.
18 For I am full of words, and my spirit within me compels me.
19 Behold, my belly is like unvented wine; it is about to burst like a new wineskin.
20 I must speak and find relief; I must open my lips and respond.
KJV
When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, [and] answered no more;)
ASV
And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more?
ERV
And shall I wait, because they speak not, because they stand still, and answer no more?
