Context of Job 15:6
4But you even break off piety, and hinder meditation before God. 5Your sin inspires your mouth; you choose the language of the crafty. Your own mouth condemns you, not I; your own lips testify against you. 7“Were you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills? 8Do you listen in on God’s secret council? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
