Job 32:17

17 No, I will now give my answer; I too will express my opinion.

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 confused, they don't reply, words have failed them.
16 But must I wait just because they don't speak, just because they stand there, stuck for an answer?
17 No, I will now give my answer; I too will express my opinion.
18 For I am full of words; the spirit within me compels me.
19 Yes, my insides feel like new wine under pressure, like new wineskins ready to burst.
