Context of Job 15:6
4You show that you do not respect God. You turn other people away from him. 5It is your sin that causes you to speak like that. You try to say clever things that will deceive people. I do not need to show that you are guilty. Your own words show that you are wrong. 7You were not the first human to be born. You were not alive when God made the hills. 8You do not know God's secret plans. You are not the only wise person in the world.
