Job 27:1-6 ▼

1 And Job adds to lift up his allegory and says:

2 “God lives! He turned aside my judgment, || And the Mighty—He made my soul bitter.

3 For all the while my breath [is] in me, || And the wind of God in my nostrils.

4 My lips do not speak perverseness, || And my tongue does not utter deceit.

5 Defilement to me—if I justify you, || Until I expire I do not turn aside my integrity from me.

6 On my righteousness I have laid hold, || And I do not let it go, || My heart does not reproach me while I live.
