Job 32:17 Meaning and Commentary

Job 32:17

[I said], I will answer also my part
Or take his turn in giving an answer to Job; what they had given being quite insufficient and unsuitable:

I also will show mine opinion;
knowledge, or sentiment; this for a while he was fearful of doing, but, upon a thorough and serious consideration of things, he determined upon it, and now repeats it, to assure he would do it; the reasons of which follow.

Job 32:17 In-Context

15 You sit there baffled, with nothing more to say.

16 Should I continue to wait, now that you are silent? Must I also remain silent?

17 No, I will say my piece. I will speak my mind.

18 For I am full of pent-up words, and the spirit within me urges me on.

19 I am like a cask of wine without a vent, like a new wineskin ready to burst!
