It was long ere Elihu ventured to speak, but when he did, he did it to purpose and with full effect. That which comes from our own heart, is most like to take upon the hearts of others; they speak as much from their hearts as with their tongues, whom we see long waiting before we hear them speaking. And therefore, it is not good, no not for good speakers, to be speaking before they have been waiting; many through hast bring forth untimely births, and unripe fruit; Elihu could say, I have waited, before he said, I will answer for my part.

Secondly, Note.
We ought to observe order in speaking, and act our proper part.
