Context of Job 15:4
2Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? 3Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches which he can do no good? Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God. 5For thy mouth uttereth thy iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty. 6Thy own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thy own lips testify against thee.
