Job 32:15-22

15 "Do you three have nothing else to say? Of course you don't! You're total frauds!
16 Why should I wait any longer, now that you're stopped dead in your tracks?
17 I'm ready to speak my piece. That's right! It's my turn - and it's about time!
18 I've got a lot to say, and I'm bursting to say it.
19 The pressure has built up, like lava beneath the earth. I'm a volcano ready to blow.
20 I have to speak - I have no choice. I have to say what's on my heart,
21 And I'm going to say it straight - the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
22 I was never any good at bootlicking; my Maker would make short work of me if I started in now!
