1. Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:
2. As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who hath brought my soul to bitterness,
3. As long as breath remaineth in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils,
4. My lips shall not speak iniquity, neither shall my tongue contrive lying.
5. God forbid that I should judge you to be just: till I die I will not depart from my innocence.
6. My justification, which I have begun to hold, I will not forsake: for my heart doth not reprehend me in all my life.
