Job 15:5
For your iniquity instructs your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.
BSB
ASV
For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, And thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
KJV
For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
Whence it is still further added, For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, and thou followest the tongue of the crafty. 'Iniquity teaches the mouth,' when there is conceived by a bad life somewhat to be spoken of a worse kind. Now because blessed Job was free in speech in proportion as he was holy in action, by his friends, who hold the type of heretics, he is found fault with at once on the grounds of a wicked life and of a bold mouth, so that it should be said, Thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth.
