Context of Job 15:6
4But you are doing away with the fear of God and hindering meditation before God. 5For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty. Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; your own lips testify against you. 7"Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills? 8Have you listened in the council of God? And do you limit wisdom to yourself?
