Job 6:26
_ _ Do you imagine — or, “mean.”
_ _ to reprove words and (to reprove) the speeches of one desperate, (which are) as wind? — mere nothings, not to be so narrowly taken to task? Umbreit not so well takes the Hebrew for “as wind,” as “sentiments”; making formal “sentiments” antithetical to mere “speeches,” and supplying, not the word “reprove,” but “would you regard,” from the first clause. |
