Exegesis
The phrase leshon arumim {לְשׁוֹן עֲרוּמִים | ləšôn ʿărûmîm} ‘tongue of the crafty’ is a genitive relationship that characterizes the speaker’s adopted mode of communication as aligned with deceitful people; rendering it as “tongue” (formal) or “speech” (dynamic) preserves the Hebrew metaphor for verbal behavior while keeping the parallelism between mouth/tongue and sin/craftiness.
In context — Job 15:5
For your iniquity instructs your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty .
