Job 32:18-20

     18. "I am full of words," whereas the friends have not a word more to say.

      the spirit— (Job 32:8; 33:4; Jer 20:9; Ac 18:5).

     19. belly—bosom: from which the words of Orientalists in speaking seem to come more than with us; they speak gutturally. "Like (new) wine (in fermentation) without a vent," to work itself off. New wine is kept in new goatskin bottles. This fittingly applies to the young Elihu, as contrasted with the old friends (Mt 9:7).

     20. refreshed—literally, "that there may be air to me" (1Sa 16:23).
