4Have you no fear of God, no reverence for him? 5Your sins are telling your mouth what to say. Your words are based on clever deception. Your own mouth condemns you, not I. Your own lips testify against you. 7“Were you the first person ever born? Were you born before the hills were made? 8Were you listening at God’s secret council? Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?
