Context of Job 15:6
4But you even undermine the fear of God and hinder meditation before him. 5Your iniquity teaches you what to say, and you choose the language of the crafty. Your own mouth condemns you, not I; your own lips testify against you. 7Were you the first human ever born, or were you brought forth before the hills? 8Do you listen in on the council of God, or have a monopoly on wisdom?
