Job 15:13
as you turn your spirit against God and pour such words from your mouth?
BSB
ASV
That against God thou turnest thy spirit, And lettest words go out of thy mouth?
KJV
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
Ver. 13. Why dost thy spirit swell against God, that thou lettest such words go out of thy mouth? Very often when the righteous are afflicted with any woes, they are forced to confess their works, as blessed Job had done, who after just living was pressed down by the strokes of the rod; but when the unrighteous hear their sayings, they think that they are uttered in self-exaltation rather than in truth. For they weigh the words of the righteous by their own feelings, and do not think that good words can be said in a humble spirit.
The walk8

He who guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from distress.
“He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth.”
If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not bridle his tongue, he deceives his heart and his religion is worthless.

The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?
The wicked say, “How can God know? Does the Most High have knowledge?”
