Job Maintains His Integrity

1 Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said:

2 “As God lives, ^awho has taken away my justice,
And the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,

3 As long as my breath is in me,
And the breath of God in my nostrils,

4 My lips will not speak wickedness,
Nor my tongue utter deceit.

5 Far be it from me
That I should say you are right;
Till I die ^aI will not put away my integrity from me.

6 My righteousness I ^ahold fast, and will not let it go;
^bMy heart shall not¹ reproach me as long as I live.

7 “May my enemy be like the wicked,
And he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.

8 ^aFor what is the hope of the hypocrite,
Though he may gain much,
If God takes away his life?
