19 inside I am like bottled-up wine, like new wineskins ready to burst.
19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
19 Behold, my belly is like wine that has no vent; like new wineskins ready to burst.
19 The pressure has built up, like lava beneath the earth. I'm a volcano ready to blow.
19 Indeed my belly is like wine that has no vent; It is ready to burst like new wineskins.
19 I am like a cask of wine without a vent, like a new wineskin ready to burst!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 32:19
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.
