and I will not answer him with your speeches.
15 “They are dismayed; they answer no more;
they have not a word to say.
16And shall I wait, because they do not speak,
because they stand there, and answer no more?

like new cwineskins ready to burst.
20 dI must speak, that I may find erelief;
I must open my lips and answer.

and iI am weary with holding it in,
and I cannot.
