1. Then Job took up his topic again:
2. As God lives, who rejected my legal claim,the Almighty, who made me bitter,
3. as long as breath is in meand God’s breath is in my nostrils—
4. my lips will utter no wickedness;my tongue will mumble no deceit.
5. I will not agree that you are right.Until my dying day, I won’t give up my integrity.
6. I will insist on my innocence, never surrendering it;my conscience will never blame me for what I have done.
