Contextual Overview

1 Empty words, Job! Empty words! < 3 No one who is wise would talk the way you do or defend himself with such meaningless words. 4 If you had your way, no one would fear God; no one would pray to him. 5 Your wickedness is evident by what you say; you are trying to hide behind clever words. 6 There is no need for me to condemn you; you are condemned by every word you speak. 7 Do you think you were the first person born? Were you there when God made the mountains? 8 Did you overhear the plans God made? Does human wisdom belong to you alone? 9 There is nothing you know that we don't know. 10 We learned our wisdom from gray-haired people— those born before your father. 11 God offers you comfort; why still reject it? We have spoken for him with calm, even words.

Romans 4:11
He was circumcised later, and his circumcision was a sign to show that because of his faith God had accepted him as righteous before he had been circumcised. And so Abraham is the spiritual father of all who believe in God and are accepted as righteous by him, even though they are not circumcised.

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.
