1. Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said:
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?
