“How long will you go on saying such things? The words of your mouth are a blustering wind.
Here, I. Bildad reproves Job for what he had said (Job 8:2), checks his passion, but perhaps (as is too common) with greater passion. We thought Job spoke a great deal of good sense and much to the purpose, and that he had reason and right on his side; but Bildad, like an eager angry disputant, turns it all off with this, How long wilt thou speak these things?
Commenting on Job 8:1-7
Doth God pervert judgment?.... In his dealings with men in the way of his providence; no, he does not; here Bildad opposes himself to Job, who he thought had charged God with injustice in dealing with him, and his children, in the manner he had done: the same thing is intended in the following question: or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
How long wilt thou speak these [things]? and [how long shall] the words of thy mouth [be like] a strong wind? (a) He declares that their words which would diminish anything from the justice of God, are but as a puff of wind that vanishes away.
