17 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
17 I too will have my say; I too will tell what I know.
17 I also will answer with my share; I also will declare my opinion.
17 I'm ready to speak my piece. That's right! It's my turn - and it's about time!
17 I also will answer my part, I too will declare my opinion.
17 No, I will say my piece. I will speak my mind.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 32:17
Commentary on Job 32:15-22
(Read Job 32:15-22)
If we are sure that the Spirit of God suggested what we are about to say, still we ought to refrain, till it comes to our turn to speak. God is the God of order, not of confusion. It is great refreshment to a good man, to speak for the glory of the Lord, and to edify others. And the more we consider the majesty of God, as our Maker, and the more we dread his wrath and justice, the less shall we sinfully fear or flatter men. Could we set the wrath Lord always before us, in his mercies and his terrors, we should not be moved from doing our duty in whatever we are called to do.
