Job 15:6

Read in context

Job 15:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

7 Were you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills?

8 Do you listen in on the council of God or limit wisdom to yourself?
