1 And Job took up his discourse again:
2 “As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice,the Almighty, who has made my life bitter –
3 for while my spirit is still in me,and the breath from God is in my nostrils,
4 my lips will not speak wickedness,and my tongue will whisper no deceit.
5 I will never declare that you three are in the right;until I die, I will not set aside my integrity!
6 I will maintain my righteousnessand never let it go;my conscience will not reproach mefor as long as I live.
7 “May my enemy be like the wicked,my adversary like the unrighteous.
