Job 32:19 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

It is ready to burst like new bottles— Bottles of new wine. The epithet new belongs more properly to the wine, as it is in the LXX; in our Saviour's parabolical expression of, putting new wine into old bottles; and as it is more consistent with the nature of things; for, the bottles being made of leather, an old bottle was more liable to be burst by the fermentation of new wine, than a new one.

Job 32:19

19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
