1. And Job again took up his parable, and said,
2. As God liveth, who hath taken away my right; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
3. (For my life is yet whole in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;)
4. Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit.
5. God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.
6. My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
7. Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.
