Job 27:1-10

1Job continued speaking:

2“I vow by the living God, who has taken away my rights, by the Almighty who has embittered my soul—

3As long as I live, while I have breath from God,

4my lips will speak no evil, and my tongue will speak no lies.

5I will never concede that you are right; I will defend my integrity until I die.

6I will maintain my innocence without wavering. My conscience is clear for as long as I live.

7“May my enemy be punished like the wicked, my adversary like those who do evil.

8For what hope do the godless have when God cuts them off and takes away their life?

9Will God listen to their cry when trouble comes upon them?

10Can they take delight in the Almighty? Can they call to God at any time?
