“ Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind? ”
“"Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?”
““Does a wise man answer with blustery knowledge, or fill his belly with the east wind?”
“Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking in the wind, and fill his stomach with burning heat?”

Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking wind, and will he fill his stomach with fire?
You rebuke with words he who is not equal to you, and you speak what is not expedient for you,
to such an extent that, within yourself, you have expelled reverence and have taken away prayers from the presence of God.
For your iniquity has mislead your mouth, and you imitate the tongue of blasphemers.
