Job 8:2 finds Bildad confronting Job about his words, questioning their validity and weight. This passage forms part of a larger discourse on suffering and divine justice, where friends attempt to reason with Job regarding his plight. The emphasis on speech highlights the importance of what we say and the implications it carries in the context of suffering and faith.

The Key Word — כַּ֝בִּיר, Ka.birgenerated
The word כַּ֝בִּיר (kabir) means mighty or powerful, often used to describe something of great extent or strength. It is an adjective that conveys a sense of grandeur, referring to both physical might and the weight of words.
In this verse, Bildad uses כַּ֝בִּיר to describe the wind, suggesting that Job's words lack substance and are as empty as a strong wind. The choice of this word emphasizes the futility of Job's speech in the eyes of his friend.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against. The BSB uses blustering, which captures the essence of emptiness associated with the wind.
Where others part company with the BSB they part company over the word כַּ֝בִּיר — strong (KJV, ASV, YLT) emphasizes the force of the wind, while mighty (WEB, RVA) leans toward the grandeur of the concept.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb תְּמַלֶּל (te.malel) governs the main clause, with a noun phrase describing the subject and another noun phrase serving as the predicate. The structure emphasizes the question of duration, focusing on the act of speaking and its implications.
The arrangement of the sentence highlights the contrast between Job's words and the metaphor of the wind, underscoring the emptiness of the former through the powerful imagery of the latter.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew כַּ֝בִּיר is rendered with the Greek word πολυρῆμον which implies a multitude or abundance. This choice suggests a broader interpretation of Job's words as not just empty but overwhelming in their lack of substance.
This translation reflects a nuanced understanding of the original Hebrew, emphasizing the rhetorical strength of Bildad's critique.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it
Gregory the Dialogist comments on this verse, noting the implications of speaking without substance and the nature of words in discourse.
How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the breath of the words of thy mouth be multiplied? When multiplicity is blamed in the speech, surely it is thereby denied that there is weight of meaning in the sense.Early Church Fathers on Job 8 →

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text reads: עַד־ אָ֥ן תְּמַלֶּל־ אֵ֑לֶּה וְר֥וּחַ כַּ֝בִּיר אִמְרֵי־ פִֽיךָ׃. The Septuagint matches 7 of the 8 words, indicating a strong correspondence between the two texts, although the word order differs.
עַד־ אָ֥ן תְּמַלֶּל־ אֵ֑לֶּה וְר֥וּחַ כַּ֝בִּיר אִמְרֵי־ פִֽיךָ׃
7 of the 8 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript.

wind (anemos:
1. Causes:
Unequal distribution of heat in the atmosphere causes currents of air or wind. The heated air rises and the air from around rushes in. The direction from which a current comes determines its name, as west wind coming from the West but blowing toward the East. When two currents of air of different directions meet, a spiral motion sometimes results.
See WHIRLWIND.
2. West Wind:
In Palestine the west wind is the most common. It comes from the sea and carries the moisture which condenses to form clouds, as it is turned upward by the mountains, to the cooler layers of the atmosphere. If the temperature reached is cool enough the cloud condenses and rain falls. Elijah looked toward the West for the "small cloud," and soon "the heavens grew black with clouds and wind" (1Ki 18:44 f). "When ye see a cloud rising in the…

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
