Job 32:17

17 No, I too will speak and tell 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 "These three friends are defeated and have no more to say; words have failed them.
16 Now they are standing there with no answers for Job. Now that they are quiet, must I wait to speak?
17 No, I too will speak and tell what I know.
18 I am full of words, and the spirit in me causes me to speak.
19 I am like wine that has been bottled up; I am ready to burst like a new leather wine bag.
