Exegesis
A second parallel clause coordinates usefatekha {וּ֝שְׂפָתֶ֗יךָ | ûśəp̄āṯeḵā} ‘and your lips’ with a plural verb, ya'anu-vakh {יַעֲנוּ־בָֽךְ | yaʿănû-bāḵ} ‘they answer against you’, forming tight poetic parallelism (mouth // lips; declare guilty // answer) that intensifies the idea of self-incrimination through reiterated speech imagery.
In context — Job 15:6
Your mouth declares you guilty , and not I; and your lips testify against you.
