Context of Job 15:4
2Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind, 3Reasoning with unprofitable talk, and with speeches which do no good? Yea, thou makest piety of none effect, and restrainest meditation before God. 5For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou hast chosen the tongue of the crafty. 6Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; and thy lips testify against thee.
