27 Job continued his discourse, saying:

As God lives, who has deprived me of justice,(A)
and the Almighty who has made me bitter,(B)
as long as my breath is still in me
and the breath from God remains in my nostrils,(C)
my lips will not speak unjustly,
and my tongue will not utter deceit.
I will never affirm that you are right.
I will maintain my integrity[a](D) until I die.
I will cling to my righteousness and never let it go.
My conscience(E) will not accuse me as long as I live!

Job rejects Bildad’s argument

27 Then Job took up his topic again:

As God lives, who rejected my legal claim,
        the Almighty, who made me bitter,
    as long as breath is in me
        and God’s breath is in my nostrils—
    my lips will utter no wickedness;
        my tongue will mumble no deceit.
I will not agree that you are right.
    Until my dying day, I won’t give up my integrity.
I will insist on my innocence, never surrendering it;
    my conscience will never blame me for what I have done.[a]
