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.

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?
