27 And Job again took up his parable, and said,

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