Job 32:16

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.

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.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
