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 Words have failed them, Job; they have no answer for you.

16 Shall I go on waiting when they are silent? They stand there with nothing more to say.

17 No, I will give my own answer now and tell you what I think.

18 I can hardly wait to speak. I can't hold back the words.

19 If I don't get a chance to speak, I will burst like a wineskin full of new wine.
