Job 8:1

"Whereas Eliphaz had begun politely, Bildad in his shorter speech began abruptly" (Zuck p. 43). His opening is blunt. He seems upset that Job has not listened to the advice given by Eliphaz, and that Job is blowing. lot of hot air in response, "And the words of your mouth be. mighty wind?" The Hebrew here means. wind both strong and abundant, that is, "Job's words were like. lengthy and heavy windstorm" (E. Dhorme,. Commentary on the Book of Job, p. 112). Jackson compares Bildad to the proverbial "bull in. china shop".
