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.
