Exegesis
The maqqef-linked contrast velo-ani {וְלֹא־אָ֑נִי | wə-lō-ʾānî} functions as a parenthetical denial, separating the speaker from the accusation and sharpening the rhetorical thrust: the charge is self-generated, not imposed from outside.
In context — Job 15:6
Your mouth declares you guilty , and not I; and your lips testify against you.
