Job 16:3 Douay-Rheims

Shall windy words have no end? or is it any trouble to thee to speak?

George Leo Haydock

1774–1849 Catholic

Windy, inconclusive arguments. They all entertain a mean opinion of their adversaries, as they did not agree in the application of the propositions. Hence though they might be true, they were nothing to their present purpose, chap. xv. 3. (Haydock) — Trouble. You can speak without any pain: but the case is far different with me. (Menochius) — Hebrew, “what emboldeneth thee to answer?” (Haydock) — Who asks thee for advice? (Calmet) — True friends will give it without upbraiding, or laying false crimes to the charge of any one. (Worthington)
