Job 16:3 (ESV)

3 Shall windy words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?

Job wonders what moves his friends to repeat the same accusations over and over again. Eliphaz had described Job’s words as wind (Job 15:2), yet it is Eliphaz and his friends’ words that are long-winded. They repeatedly express false notions about God and about Job.
