Job 27 — Context

Job again took up his parable, and said,

"As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter.

(For the length of my life is still in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit.

Far be it from me that I should justify you. Until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
