Job 27:1-10

1And Job continued his discourse:

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

3as long as I have life within me, the breath of God in my nostrils,

4my lips will not say anything wicked, and my tongue will not utter lies.

5I will never admit you are in the right; till I die, I will not deny my integrity.

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

7“May my enemy be like the wicked, my adversary like the unjust!

8For what hope have the godless when they are cut off, when God takes away their life?

9Does God listen to their cry when distress comes upon them?

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