Job 35:16
Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

Job 3:1 records Job opening his mouth to curse his birth — the very speech Elihu condemns as empty talk in Job 35:16.
In Job 34:35-37, Elihu similarly accuses Job of speaking without knowledge and adding rebellion — reinforcing the same charge.
In Job 38:2, God echoes Elihu's accusation, asking who darkens counsel with words without knowledge — confirming the charge from divine authority.
In Job 34:37, Elihu again says Job multiplies words against God — a direct parallel to the accusation of empty talk.
In Job 9:20, Job himself admits his own mouth could condemn him — a self-awareness that aligns with Elihu's charge of empty talk.
In Job 13:2, Job claims equal knowledge with his friends — directly contrasting Elihu's assertion that Job speaks without knowledge.
In Ecclesiastes 10:14, a fool multiplies words — a wisdom proverb that matches Elihu's description of Job's speech.
