## How long will the words of your mouth be a mighty wind? ##
Bildad poses this question to rebuke Job for complaining to God. In this metaphor, both Job's words and the wind are empty and insubstantial. AT: "The words of your mouth are a mighty wind." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
## Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert righteousness? ##
Here the writer uses two parallel rhetorical questions, which Bildad poses to rebuke Job. AT: "God does not act unjustly; the Almighty does not fail to do what is right." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
