Verse 20 is found in chapter 32 of Job. Elihu states that he carefully listened to the previous arguments and considers that none adequately answered Job. He explains that he will not speak to flatter or favor anyone. The section functions as a programmatic introduction to his speeches, in which he will attempt to explain suffering in relation to discipline and God’s greatness.

Ich muß reden, daß ich mir Luft mache; ich muß meine Lippen auftun und antworten.
Hablaré pues y respiraré; Abriré mis labios, y responderé.
Hablaré para desahogarme; abriré mis labios y responderé.
Je parlerai pour respirer à l'aise, J'ouvrirai mes lèvres et je répondrai.
Io parlerò adunque, ed avrò alcuna respirazione; Io aprirò le mie labbra, e risponderò.
Falarei, para que ache alívio; abrirei os meus lábios, e responderei.
我要說話,使我舒暢; 我要張開嘴唇回答。
