Job 6:26

Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?

Do ye imagine, or mean, to reprove words, and (to reprove) the speeches of one desperate, (which are) as wind (cf. Job 6:3, remark at end) mere nothings, not to be so narrowly taken, to task? or, as Maurer, 'which pass to the wind,' the wind carrying away the their sound. Umbreit, not so well, takes the Hebrew for as wind, 'as sentiments;' making formal sentiments х ruwach (H7307)], antithetical to mere speeches, and supplying, not the word "reprove," but 'wound you regard,' from the first clause.
