1. And Job took up his discourse again:
2. “As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice,the Almighty, who has made my life bitter –
3. for while my spirit is still in me,and the breath from God is in my nostrils,
4. my lips will not speak wickedness,and my tongue will whisper no deceit.
5. I will never declare that you three are in the right;until I die, I will not set aside my integrity!
6. I will maintain my righteousnessand never let it go;my conscience will not reproach mefor as long as I live.
