What is the meaning of "Se'ipai Yeshivuni"?

1.

Rashi: My thoughts return an answer to my mouth. Because I was silent, this brings me to answer. You shame me - therefore, I will answer you from my understanding.

2.

Malbim: My thoughts make me retract from my first answer, and give a new answer. The first time, Tzufar made a philosophical claim. Man perceives only via senses, therefore he cannot understand spirituality, which is not sensed. Also his intellect cannot understand Elokus or the supernatural. This was mocked greatly. He abandoned this 1 , and now comes to explain Rasha v'Tov Lo, he argues based on tests, from what his senses perceive.

Malbim implies that Tzufar did not retract his belief. Rather, since Iyov mocked him, and he could not prove himself, he preferred to refute Iyov according to Iyov's opinion. (PF)

1.

2.

Ibn Ezra: My haste to answer you.

3.
