Job 27:1-10

1Job continued to speak. This is what he said:

2‘Almighty God has not been fair to me. He has caused my life to be very sad. As surely as he lives, I promise this:

3As long as God's Spirit gives me life,

4I will never speak any lies. I will always be honest.

5I will never agree that you, my three friends, are right. Until the day of my death, I will continue to say what I know is right.

6I will never agree that I am guilty. During all of my life, my thoughts do not say that I am doing anything wrong.

7I pray that God will punish my enemies as he punishes all wicked people. They do bad things to me, so they deserve punishment.

8When God chooses to remove wicked people, they cannot hope for any good thing. God will cause them to die.

9When they are in trouble and they pray for help, God will not listen to them.

10People like that are not happy that Almighty God is their friend. They do not like to pray to him all the time.
