15 They’re dismayed and can’t answer again.

≈Their words have run away from them.

16 Should I wait because they’re not speaking?

≈They stand there but haven’t answered again.

17 Yes, I too will answer with my share.

≈I’ll declare my opinion as well.

18 Because I’m full of words.

≈Something inside me compels me.

19 My belly is like pressurised wine.

≈It’ll split open like a new wineskin.

20 Let me speak so I can relax.

≈I’ll open my mouth and answer.

21 I won’t take anyone’s side,

≈and I won’t flatter anyone with fancy titles.

22 I don’t know how to give fancy titles.

My maker would soon take me away.
