2 “As God lives, who has taken away my justice,And the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,
3 As long as my breath is in me,And the breath of God in my nostrils,
4 My lips will not speak wickedness,Nor my tongue utter deceit.
5 Far be it from meThat I should say you are right;Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go;My heart shall not reproach me as long as I live.
7 “May my enemy be like the wicked,And he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.
8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite,Though he may gain much,If God takes away his life?
