Contextual Overview
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered: 2 "Does a wise man answer with blustery knowledge, or fill his belly with the east wind? 3 Does he argue with useless talk, with words that have no value in them? 4 But you even break off piety, and hinder meditation before God. 5 Your sin inspires your mouth; you choose the language of the crafty. 6 Your own mouth condemns you, not I; your own lips testify against you. 7 "Were you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills? 8 Do you listen in on God's secret council? Do you limit wisdom to yourself? 9 What do you know that we don't know? What do you understand that we don't understand? 10 The gray-haired and the aged are on our side, men far 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.
