Job 27:1-10

1Job continued his discourse, saying:

2As God lives, who has deprived me of justice, and the Almighty who has made me bitter,

3as long as my breath is still in me and the breath from God remains in my nostrils,

4my lips will not speak unjustly, and my tongue will not utter deceit.

5I will never affirm that you are right. I will maintain my integrity until I die.

6I will cling to my righteousness and never let it go. My conscience will not accuse me as long as I live!

7May my enemy be like the wicked and my opponent like the unjust.

8For what hope does the godless person have when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?

9Will God hear his cry when distress comes on him?

10Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call on God at all times?
