Bible verse
For I am full of words, and my spirit within me compels me.
Job 32:18 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 32.
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.
21 I will be partial to no one, nor will I flatter any man.
22 For I do not know how to flatter, or my Maker would remove me in an instant.
