Job 27:1-6
New King James Version
Job Maintains His Integrity
27 Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said:
2 “As God lives, (A)who has taken away my justice,
And the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,
3 As long as my breath is in me,
And the breath of God in my nostrils,
4 My lips will not speak wickedness,
Nor my tongue utter deceit.
5 Far be it from me
That I should say you are right;
Till I die (B)I will not put away my integrity from me.
6 My righteousness I (C)hold fast, and will not let it go;
(D)My heart shall not [a]reproach me as long as I live.

Job 27:1-6
American Standard Version
27 And Job again took up his parable, and said,
2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my right,
And the Almighty, who hath [a]vexed my soul
3 [b](For my life is yet whole in me,
And the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
4 Surely my lips [c]shall not speak unrighteousness,
Neither [d]shall my tongue utter deceit.
5 Far be it from me that I should justify you:
Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go:
My heart [e]shall not reproach me so long as I live.
