Job 27:1-6
World English Bible
27 Job again took up his parable, and said,
2 “As God lives, who has taken away my right,
the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter
3 (for the length of my life is still in me,
and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);
4 surely my lips will not speak unrighteousness,
neither will my tongue utter deceit.
5 Far be it from me that I should justify you.
Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
6 I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go.
My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.
Job 27:1-6

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