Job 27:3-9 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

3. As long as I have life and God gives me breath,

4. my mouth won't say evil things. My lips won't tell lies.

5. I'll never admit you people are right. Until I die, I'll say I'm telling the truth.

6. I'll continue to say I'm right. I'll never let go of that. I won't blame myself as long as I live.

7. "May my enemies suffer like sinful people! May my attackers be punished like those who aren't fair!

8. What hope do ungodly people have when their lives are cut off? What hope do they have when God takes away their lives?

9. God won't listen to their cry when trouble comes on them.
