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 "They were amazed, they answered no more; they left off speaking.

16 When I had waited (for they spoke not, but stood still and answered no more),

17 I said, `I will answer also my part; I also will show mine opinion.

18 For I am full of matters; the spirit within me constraineth me.

19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new wineskins.'
