Job’s Final Word to His Friends
27 And Job continued his discourse:(A)
2 “As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice,(B)
the Almighty,(C) who has made my life bitter,(D)
3 as long as I have life within me,
the breath of God(E) in my nostrils,
4 my lips will not say anything wicked,
and my tongue will not utter lies.(F)
5 I will never admit you are in the right;
till I die, I will not deny my integrity.(G)
6 I will maintain my innocence(H) and never let go of it;
my conscience(I) will not reproach me as long as I live.(J)

Job Maintains His Integrity
27 Job again took up his discourse and said:(A)
2 “As God lives, who has taken away my right,
and the Almighty,[a] who has made my soul bitter,(B)
3 as long as my breath is in me
and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
4 my lips will not speak falsehood,
and my tongue will not utter deceit.(C)
5 Far be it from me to say that you are right;
until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.(D)
6 I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go;
my heart will not reproach me as long as I live.(E)
