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 are troubled, no longer answer; words now escape them.

16 I waited, but they didn't speak, for they stood but answered no more.

17 I will answer. Indeed, I will state my piece; I too will declare my view,

18 for I'm full of words. The spirit in my belly compels me.

19 Look, my belly is like unopened wine; like new wineskins it will burst.
