Context of Job 15:6
4You even do away with reverence and hinder devotion before God. 5For your iniquity prompts your mouth and you choose the tongue of the crafty. Your own mouth condemns you—not I; your own lips testify against you. 7“Are you the first man to be born? Were you brought forth before the hills? 8Do you listen in on God’s counsel? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
