I Hold Fast My Righteousness

27 Then Job continued to lift up his [a](A)discourse and said,

“As God lives, (B)who has removed my justice,
And the Almighty, (C)who has embittered my soul,
For as long as breath is in me,
And the (D)spirit from God is in my nostrils,
My lips certainly will not speak unrighteousness,
Nor will (E)my tongue utter deceit.
Far be it from me that I should declare you right;
Till I breathe my last (F)I will not remove my integrity from me.
I (G)hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go.
My heart does not reproach any of my days.

  1. Job 27:1 Lit proverb

27 Job continued his discourse, saying:

As God lives, who has deprived me of justice,(A)
and the Almighty who has made me bitter,(B)
as long as my breath is still in me
and the breath from God remains in my nostrils,(C)
my lips will not speak unjustly,
and my tongue will not utter deceit.
I will never affirm that you are right.
I will maintain my integrity[a](D) until I die.
I will cling to my righteousness and never let it go.
My conscience(E) will not accuse me as long as I live!
