Job 32:18-1964 in the Bible in Basic English reads: “For I am full of words, I am unable to keep in my breath any longer: My stomach is like wine which is unable to get out; like skins full of new wine, it is almost burst. Let me say what is in my mind, so that I may get comfort; let me give answer with open mouth. Let me not give respect to any man, or give names of honour to any living. For I am not able to give names of honour to any man; and if I did, my Maker would quickly take me away.”
