Though they can speak still, yet they are ready to sit still ⟨p. 483⟩and hear. The most prudent speakers, are also patient hearers. Elihu when he began to speak (Chap: 32.18, 19.) compared himself to a full bottle, he was even burdened with his own conceptions. I am full of matter (said he there) the spirit within me constraineth me; Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent, it is ready to burst like new bottles. And though he had not half emptied himself, yet he could stop his vessel and contain himself. Answer me, I will hear. Though Elihu was warm in his work, labouring tooth and nail to convince and humble Job, and show him wherein he had exceeded and offended, though he was teaching him to give glory to God, and to abhor himself (as at last he did) repenting in dust and ashes, yet he was unwilling to determine till he had heard him speak, if he had any thing to speak, and a mind to speak it.
