Context of Job 15:6
4Indeed, you are doing away with fear, And you are diminishing meditation before God. 5For your guilt teaches your mouth, And you choose [to speak] the language of the crafty and cunning. Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; Yes, your own lips testify against you. 7“Were you the first man to be born [the original wise man], Or were you created before the hills? 8Do you hear the secret counsel of God, And do you limit [the possession of] wisdom to yourself?
