Job 27:1-6
Legacy Standard Bible
I Hold Fast My Righteousness
27 Then Job continued to lift up his [a](A)discourse and said,
2 “As God lives, (B)who has removed my justice,
And the Almighty, (C)who has embittered my soul,
3 For as long as breath is in me,
And the (D)spirit from God is in my nostrils,
4 My lips certainly will not speak unrighteousness,
Nor will (E)my tongue utter deceit.
5 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.
6 I (G)hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go.
My heart does not reproach any of my days.

Job’s Final Speech
27 Job continued speaking:
2 “I vow by the living God, who has taken away my rights,
by the Almighty who has embittered my soul—
3 As long as I live,
while I have breath from God,
4 my lips will speak no evil,
and my tongue will speak no lies.
5 I will never concede that you are right;
I will defend my integrity until I die.
6 I will maintain my innocence without wavering.
My conscience is clear for as long as I live.
