Contextual Overview
1 Then Elifaz the Teimani spoke: 2 "Should a wise man answer with hot-air arguments? Should he fill up his belly with the hot east wind? 3 Should he reason with useless talk or make speeches that do him no good? 4 "Why, you are abolishing fear of God and hindering prayer to him! 5 Your iniquity is teaching you how to speak, and deceit is your language of choice. 6 Your own mouth condemns you, not I; your own lips testify against you. 7 "Were you the firstborn of the human race, brought forth before the hills? 8 Do you listen in on God's secrets? Do you limit wisdom to yourself? 9 What do you know that we don't know? What discernment do you have that we don't? 10 With us are gray-haired men, old men, men much 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.
