Job 15:4

Read in context

Job 15:2–6 · Berean Standard Bible

2 “Does a wise man answer with empty counsel or fill his belly with the hot east wind?

3 Should he argue with useless words or speeches that serve no purpose?

4 But you even undermine the fear of God and hinder meditation before Him.

5 For your iniquity instructs your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.

6 Your own mouth, not mine, condemns you; your own lips testify against you.
