1. And Job continued speaking:
2. “As surely as God lives, he has taken away my rights.God All-Powerful has made me unhappy.
3. As long as I am aliveand God’s breath of life is in my nose,
4. My lips will not speak evil.And my tongue will not tell a lie.
5. I will never agree you are right.Until I die, I will never stop saying I was innocent.
6. I will hold tightly to the right things I said.My sense of right and wrong does not bother me at all.
7. “Let my enemies be like evil people.Let them be like those who are not fair!
8. What hope does a wicked person have when he dies?He has no hope when God takes his life away.
9. God will not listen to his crywhen trouble comes to him.
10. He will not find joy in God All-Powerful,even though he calls out to God all the time.
11. “I will teach you about the power of God.I will not hide the ways of God All-Powerful.
12. You have all seen this yourselves.So why are we having all this talk that means nothing?
