job 15:2 Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? - Free Bible Online

job 15:2 "Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?


      2. a wise man--which Job claims to be.
      vain knowledge--Hebrew, "windy knowledge"; literally, "of wind" (Job 8:2). In Ec 1:14, Hebrew, "to catch wind," expresses to strive for what is vain.
      east wind--stronger than the previous "wind," for in that region the east wind is the most destructive of winds (Isa 27:8). Thus here,--empty violence.
      belly--the inward parts, the breast (Pr 18:8).
