Job 32:17

17 "I'll give my answer. I'll tell you what I know.

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 have been overwhelmed and don't have any more answers. They don't have another word to say.
16 Should I wait because they don't speak, because they stand there and don't have any more answers?
17 "I'll give my answer. I'll tell you what I know.
18 I'm full of words. The Spirit within me forces me [to speak].
19 My belly is like [a bottle of] wine that has not been opened, like new wineskins that are ready to burst.
