Job 32:10 Meaning and Commentary

Job 32:10

Therefore I said, hearken to me
Thou O Job, and every one of you his friends, for the word is singular; though I am but a young man, yet if I have the Spirit of God, and am under the inspiration of the Almighty, I may be able to say something to you worth your hearing:

I also will show mine opinion;
for though for a while he was timorous and fearful of doing it, lest he should mistake and expose himself, yet having duly weighed and considered the above things, he was determined to do it.

Job 32:10 In-Context

8 But it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.
9 It is not the old that are wise, nor the aged that understand what is right.
10 Therefore I say, 'Listen to me; let me also declare my opinion.'
11 "Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your wise sayings, while you searched out what to say.
