Context of Job 15:6

4Yea, 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. Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; and thy lips testify against thee. 7Art thou the first man that was born? and wast thou brought forth before the hills? 8Hast thou listened in the secret council of God? And hast thou absorbed wisdom for thyself?
