Job is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “As God lives, who has taken away my justice; as the Almighty lives, who has made my life bitter”

הֵסִ֣יר מִשְׁפָּטִ֑י

Job is speaking of his justice as if it were an object that God had taken away from him. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “who has denied justice to me”
27:2 The Bible permits a vow by the living God (Ruth 3:13; 1 Sam 20:21; 25:26; 1 Kgs 17:1; 18:15; Jer 4:2), although sometimes it is done foolishly or falsely (1 Sam 14:39, 45; Jer 5:2).
• Elihu later criticized Job for saying that God had taken away his rights (Job 34:5).
• embittered . . . soul (7:11; 10:1; 21:25): Cp. Naomi (Ruth 1:20-21) and the widow from Shunem after the loss of her son (2 Kgs 4:27).
