SECOND SPEECH OF ELIPHAZ. (Job 15:1-35)
a wise man—which Job claims to be.
vain knowledge—Hebrew, "windy knowledge"; literally, "of wind" (Job 8:2). In Ecclesiastes 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 (Isaiah 27:8). Thus here,—empty violence.
belly—the inward parts, the breast (Proverbs 18:8).
