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 Job’s friends are dismayed, with no more to say; words have escaped them.

16 Must I wait, now that they are silent, now that they stand and no longer reply?

17 I too will answer; yes, I will declare what I know.

18 For I am full of words, and my spirit within me compels me.

19 Behold, my belly is like unvented wine; it is about to burst like a new wineskin.
