Vers. 19. Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent,1 it is ready to burst like new bottles.
- 1[Greek or Hebrew] vinum novum vel mustum, cui non est ademptum obthuraculum ut exhalet. Jun:〈non-Latin alphabet〉 vinum novum vel mustum, cui non est ademptum obthuraculum ut exhalet. Iun:
Elihu prosecutes the same thing in another way; and to show how troublesome it was to refrain speaking any longer, his thoughts being not only too many, but too working to be enclosed in so narrow a room as his own breast, he compares them to wine, or to new wine, which will either find or make its way out.

The whole similitude is exceeding elegant, First, he compares his thoughts, or the matter he had in his mind to wine. Secondly, he compares his soul or spirit to bottles, his inward man was the vessel that held this wine. Thirdly, he compares his long silence to the stopple or Cork of the bottle. Fourthly, he compares that trouble and grief of mind which this forbearance to speak brought upon him, to the working which is in a bottle so stopped, or having no vent. Fifthly, he compares his intended speaking to the opening of the bottle which gives it vent.
