Context of Job 15:6

4But you even undermine piety and hinder devotion to God. 5Your sin prompts your mouth; you adopt the tongue of the crafty. Your own mouth condemns you, not mine; your own lips testify against you. 7“Are you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills? 8Do you listen in on God’s council? Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?
