Haydock's commentary
Heat. Hebrew, "east wind," (Haydock) or give vent to passion. (Haydock)
Eliphaz now rebukes Job without any reserve. (Calmet)
He was perhaps displeased at the comparison used by the latter, chap. xiii. 4. Baldad had also hinted that Job's discourse was nothing but wind, chap. viii. 2. (Haydock)
Being unable to answer his arguments, he reviles him as an enemy of God. (Worthington)
