Job Affirms His Integrity

27 Job continued his discourse:

2 “As surely as God lives, who has deprived me of justice—

the Almighty, who has embittered my soul—

3 as long as my breath is still within me

and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,

4 my lips will not speak wickedness,

and my tongue will not utter deceit.

5 I will never say that you are right;

I will maintain my integrity until I die.

6 I will cling to my righteousness and never let go.

As long as I live, my conscience will not accuse me.
