Job 32:17
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?
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.
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.
