1. And Iyoḇ again took up his discourse, and said,
2. “As Ěl lives, who has turned aside my right-ruling, and the Almighty, who has made my life bitter,
3. as long as my breath is in me, and the spirit of Eloah in my nostrils,
4. my lips do not speak unrighteousness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
5. Far be it from me that I grant that you are right. Until I die I would not turn aside my integrity from me.
6. My righteousness I hold fast, and I do not let it go. My heart does not reproach me as long as I live.
7. Let my enemy be like the wrongdoer, and he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.
8. For what is the expectancy of the defiled one, when He does cut off, when Eloah takes away his life?
9. Would Ěl hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
10. Would he delight himself in the Almighty – call on Eloah at all times?
