1 Job continued his discourse, saying:
2 As God lives, who has deprived me of justice, and the Almighty who has made me bitter,
3 as long as my breath is still in meand the breath from God remains in my nostrils,
4 my lips will not speak unjustly,and my tongue will not utter deceit.
5 I will never affirm that you are right.I will maintain my integrity until I die.
6 I will cling to my righteousness and never let it go.My conscience will not accuse me as long as I live!
7 May my enemy be like the wickedand my opponent like the unjust.
