Contradiction with Job 32:18-20
These verses describe someone who speaks because they are full of the spirit, contrasting Job 15:2, which criticizes speaking with unprofitable words.
Job 32:18-20: For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me. [matter: Heb. words] [spirit...: Heb. spirit of my belly]
Contradiction with Proverbs 10:19
This verse suggests that many words do not necessarily indicate wisdom, aligning with Job 15:2's criticism of vain talk, yet also upholds the idea that sometimes more speech can lead to sin, contrasting with the idea that speaking is inherently wrong.
Proverbs 10:19: In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips [is] wise.

Proverbs 12:23: A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 5:3
This verse suggests that a fool’s voice is known by a multitude of words, contradicting the implication in Job 15:2 that speaking much is always equivalent to folly, as the context in Ecclesiastes acknowledges circumstances under which speech is appropriate.
Ecclesiastes 5:3: For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice [is known] by multitude of words.
