A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
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 Ecc 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 (Pro 18:8).

7 O remember [02142] that my life [02416] is wind [07307]: mine eye [05869] shall no more [07725] see [07200] good [02896].
26 Do ye imagine [02803] to reprove [03198] words [04405], and the speeches [0561] of one that is desperate [02976], which are as wind [07307]?
6 Hear [08085] now my reasoning [08433], and hearken [07181] to the pleadings [07379] of my lips [08193].
2 What ye know [01847], the same do I know [03045] also: I am not inferior [05307] unto you.
3 But [01571] I have understanding [03824] as well as you; I am not inferior [05307] to you: yea, who knoweth not such things [03644] as these?
14 But [1161] not [3756] long [4183] after [3326] there arose [906] against [2596] it [846] a tempestuous [5189] wind [417], called [2564] Euroclydon [2148].
