Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? {vain...: Heb. knowledge of wind}

Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.

I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.

How long wilt thou speak these {things}? and {how long shall} the words of thy mouth {be like} a strong wind?

How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
