Job 27:1-10

1And Job took up his discourse again:

2“As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made my life bitter –

3for while my spirit is still in me, and the breath from God is in my nostrils,

4my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will whisper no deceit.

5I will never declare that you three are in the right; until I die, I will not set aside my integrity!

6I will maintain my righteousness and never let it go; my conscience will not reproach me for as long as I live.

7“May my enemy be like the wicked, my adversary like the unrighteous.

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

9Does God listen to his cry when distress overtakes him?

10Will he find delight in the Almighty? Will he call out to God at all times?
