Exegesis
Bitno {בִּטְנֽוֹ | biṭnô} ‘his belly’ functions metonymically for the inner life from which words and impulses arise, reinforcing that such speech is not merely mistaken but internally driven emptiness. English renders the two cola as coordinated rhetorical questions to preserve the accusatory force and parallelism of the Hebrew poetry.
In context — Job 15:2
Should a wise man answer with knowledge of wind, and fill his belly with the east wind?
