Job 27 — Context

1

And Job again took up the word and said,

2

By the life of God, who has taken away my right; and of the Ruler of all, who has made my soul bitter;

3

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

4

Truly, there is no deceit in my lips, and my tongue does not say what is false.

5

Let it be far from me! I will certainly not say that you are right! I will come to death before I give up my righteousness.

6

I will keep it safe, and will not let it go: my heart has nothing to say against any part of my life.

7

Let my hater be like the evil man, and let him who comes against me be as the sinner.
