1. Moreover, Job continued his parable and said,
2. As God lives, who has taken away my rights; and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,
3. that all the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
4. my lips shall not speak iniquity, nor my tongue utter deceit.
5. In no wise should I justify you; until I die I will not remove my integrity from me.
6. I hold fast to my righteousness and will not let it go; my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
7. Let my enemy be as the wicked and my adversary as the unrighteous.
8. For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he has stolen much, when God takes away his soul?
9. Will God hear his cry when the tribulation comes upon him?
10. Will he delight himself in the Almighty? Will he always call upon God?
