2 Samuel 1:16

1:16 David said to him, “Your blood be on your own head! Your own mouth has testified against you, saying ‘I have put the Lord’s anointed to death.’”

Job 15:5-6

15:5 Your sin inspires ¹  your mouth;

you choose the language ²  of the crafty. ³ 

15:6 Your own mouth condemns ⁴  you, not I;

your own lips testify against ⁵  you.

Matthew 12:37

12:37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Matthew 22:12

22:12 And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ But he had nothing to say. ⁶ 

Romans 3:19

3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under ⁷  the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

[15:5]  ¹ tn The verb אַלֵּף (’allef) has the meaning of “to teach; to instruct,” but it is unlikely that the idea of revealing is intended. If the verb is understood metonymically, then “to inspire; to prompt” will be sufficient. Dahood and others find another root, and render the verb “to increase,” reversing subject and object: “your mouth increases your iniquity.”

[15:5]  ² tn Heb “tongue.”

[15:5]  ³ tn The word means “shrewd; crafty; cunning” (see Gen 3:1). Job uses clever speech that is misleading and destructive.

[15:6]  ⁴ tn The Hiphil of this root means “declare wicked, guilty” (a declarative Hiphil), and so “condemns.”

[15:6]  ⁵ tn The verb עָנָה (’anah) with the ל (lamed) preposition following it means “to testify against.” For Eliphaz, it is enough to listen to Job to condemn him.

[22:12]  ⁶ tn Grk “he was silent.”

[3:19]  ⁷ tn Grk “in,” “in connection with.”
