Job 32:17

17 I'm ready to speak my piece. That's right! It's my turn - and it's about time!

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 "Do you three have nothing else to say? Of course you don't! You're total frauds!
16 Why should I wait any longer, now that you're stopped dead in your tracks?
17 I'm ready to speak my piece. That's right! It's my turn - and it's about time!
18 I've got a lot to say, and I'm bursting to say it.
19 The pressure has built up, like lava beneath the earth. I'm a volcano ready to blow.
