Job 27:1-6
Lexham English Bible
Job Continues His Final Speech
27 Then[a] Job again took up his discourse and said,
2 “As God lives,[b] he has removed my justice,
and Shaddai has made my inner self[c] bitter.
3 For as long as[d] my breath is in me,
and the spirit of God is in my nose,
4 my lips surely will not speak falseness,
and my tongue surely will not utter deceit.
5 Far be it from me that I would say that you[e] are right;[f]
until I pass away, I will not put away from me my blamelessness.
6 I hold fast to my righteousness, and I will not let it go;
my heart will not blame any of my days.
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.
