Job 27:1-6

The Voice

² Job: By God—who lives and has deprived me of justice,
        the Highest One^[a] who has also embittered my soul—
³     I make this proclamation:
        that, while there is life in me,
    While the breath of that selfsame God is in my nostrils,
⁴     My lips will not let lies escape them,
        and my tongue will not form deceit.
⁵     So I will never concede that you three are right.
        Until the day I die, I will not abandon my integrity just to appease you.
⁶     On the contrary, I’ll assert my innocence and never let it go;
        my heart will not mock my past or my future.
