Elihu's Internal Compulsion to Speak

Job 32:15-22

They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking.

Therefore because I have waited, and they have not spoken: they stood, and answered no more:

I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge.

For I am full of matter to speak of, and the spirit of my bowels straiteneth me.

Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels.

I will speak and take breath a little: I will open my lips, and will answer.

I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man.

For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my Maker may take me away.
