The Pulpit Commentary on Job 6:26

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Do ye imagine to reprove words? or, Do ye propose? "Is it your intention?" Am I to understand that you blame nothing in my conduct, but only the words that I have spoken? i.e. the words recorded in Job 3:1-26.

And the speeshes of one that is desperate, which are as wind; or, whereas the speehes of one that is desperate are but as wind; literally, for the wind—spoken to the wind, for the wind to take hold of them and bear them away.

Therefore not worth a reproof.
