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 When I had waited, (for they spoke not, but stood still, [and] answered no more;)

17 [I said], I will answer also my part, I also will show my opinion.

18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

19 Behold, my belly [is] as wine [which] hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
