Job 27:2

Verse 2 of 23. The 27th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

1Job again took up his parable, and said,

2“As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter

3(for the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

4surely my lips will not speak unrighteousness, neither will my tongue utter deceit.

5Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

6I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.
