1 Job took up his theme again and said:
2 As God lives, who takes away my right,the Almighty, who has made my life bitter,
3 So long as I still have life breath in me,the breath of God in my nostrils,
4 My lips shall not speak falsehood,nor my tongue utter deceit!
5 Far be it from me to account you right;till I die I will not renounce my innocence.
6 My justice I maintain and I will not relinquish it;my heart does not reproach me for any of my days.
7 Let my enemy be as the wickedand my adversary as the unjust!
