Contextual Overview
1 Eliphaz's Second Speech Eliphaz from Teman said: 2 Job, if you had any sense, 3 you would stop spreading all of this hot air. 4 Your words are enough to make others turn from God and lead them to doubt. 5 And your sinful, scheming mind is the source of all you say. 6 I am not here as your judge; your own words are witnesses against you. 7 Were you the first human? Are you older than the hills? 8 Have you ever been present when God's council meets? Do you alone have wisdom? 9 Do you know and understand something we don't? 10 We have the benefit of wisdom older than your father.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I,.... Or shows thee to be a wicked person, guilty of things charged upon thee; out of thine own mouth thou art convicted, there needs no other evidence to be brought against thee, that is sufficient: and thou savest me, and any other, the trouble of passing the sentence of condemnation upon thee; thou hast done it thyself, thine own mouth is judge and jury, and brings in the verdict, and pronounces it, as well as is the witness, as follows, and is instead of a thousand witnesses, Job 9:20;
yea, thine own lips testify against thee; and therefore there were no need of producing any other testimony; what he had said showed that his talk was vain and unprofitable, unbecoming a wise man, and tending to make null and void the fear of God among men, to discourage all religious exercises, and particularly prayer before God.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Thine own mouth condemneth thee - That is, the sentiments which you have uttered show that you cannot be a pious man.
