Job 27:1-6

New International Reader's Version

² “God hasn’t treated me fairly.
    The Mighty One has made my life bitter.
You can be sure that God lives.
    And here’s something else you can be sure of.
³ As long as I have life
    and God gives me breath,
⁴ my mouth won’t say evil things.
    My lips won’t tell lies.
⁵ I’ll never admit you people are right.
    Until I die, I’ll say I’m telling the truth.
⁶ I’ll continue to say I’m right.
    I’ll never let go of that.
    I won’t blame myself as long as I live.
