³⁰ But if a revelation is given to another who is seated near, let the first be quiet.

¹⁹ Do not put out the light of the Spirit;

²⁰ Do not make little of the words of the prophets;

¹¹ I was waiting for your words, I was giving ear to your wise sayings; while you were searching out what to say,

¹⁵ Fear has overcome them, they have no more answers to give; they have come to an end of words.

¹⁶ And am I to go on waiting while they have nothing to say? while they keep quiet and give no more answers?

¹⁷ I will give my answer; I will put forward my knowledge:

¹⁸ For I am full of words, I am unable to keep in my breath any longer:

¹⁹ My stomach is like wine which is unable to get out; like skins full of new wine, it is almost burst.

²⁰ Let me say what is in my mind, so that I may get comfort; let me give answer with open mouth.

³¹ Take note O Job, give ear to me; keep quiet, while I say what is in my mind.

³² If you have anything to say, give me an answer; for it is my desire that you may be judged free from sin.

³³ If not, give attention to me, and keep quiet, and I will give you wisdom.

⁶ But, now, my brothers, if I come to you using tongues, what profit will it be to you, if I do not give you a revelation, or knowledge, or the word of the prophet, or teaching?

²⁶ What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.
