SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:2
ĀæPor ventura el sabio responderį sabiduría ventosa, y llenarį su vientre de viento solano?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 15:2
Verse 2. Should a wise man utter vain knowledge ] Or rather, Should a wise man utter the science of wind? A science without solidity or certainty. And fill his belly with the east wind? ] fb beten, which we translate belly, is used to signify any part of the cavity of the body, whether the region of the thorax or abdomen; here it evidently refers to the lungs, and may include the cheeks and fauces. The east wind, µydq kadim, is a very stormy wind in the Levant, or the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, supposed to be the same with that called by the Greeks eurokludwn, euroclydon, the east storm, mentioned Acts xxvii. 14. Eliphaz, by these words, seems to intimate that Job's speech was a perfect storm or tempest of words.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-16 - Eliphaz begins a second attack upon Job, instead of being softened by his complaints. He unjustly charges Job with casting off the fear of God, and all regard to him, and restraining prayer. See in what religion is summed up, fearing God, and praying to him; the former the most needful principle, the latter the most needful practice. Elipha charges Job with self-conceit. He charges him with contempt of the counsels and comforts given him by his friends. We are apt to thin that which we ourselves say is important, when others, with reason think little of it. He charges him with opposition to God. Elipha ought not to have put harsh constructions upon the words of one wel known for piety, and now in temptation. It is plain that thes disputants were deeply convinced of the doctrine of original sin, an the total depravity of human nature. Shall we not admire the patienc of God in bearing with us? and still more his love to us in the redemption of Christ Jesus his beloved Son?
