Job 27:1-6

Common English Bible

² As God lives, who rejected my legal claim,
        the Almighty, who made me bitter,
³     as long as breath is in me
        and God’s breath is in my nostrils—
⁴     my lips will utter no wickedness;
        my tongue will mumble no deceit.
⁵ I will not agree that you are right.
    Until my dying day, I won’t give up my integrity.
⁶ I will insist on my innocence, never surrendering it;
    my conscience will never blame me for what I have done.^[a]
