Job 32:17

17 I said, I will also answer my part, I will also declare 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 were amazed, they answered no more; they left off speaking.
16 And I waited, (for they did not speak, but stopped, and answered no more);
17 I said, I will also answer my part, I will also declare my opinion.
18 For I am full of words; the spirit within me constrains me.
19 Behold, my belly is as wine which has no vent; it is ready to burst forth like spirits.
