Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said:
2
"As God lives, who has taken away my justice, And the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,
3
As long as my breath is in me, And the breath of God in my nostrils,
4
My lips will not speak wickedness, Nor my tongue utter deceit.
5
Far be it from me That I should say you are right; Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
6
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go; My heart shall not reproach me as long as I live.
7
"May my enemy be like the wicked, And he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.
8
For what is the hope of the hypocrite, Though he may gain much, If God takes away his life?
9
Will God hear his cry When trouble comes upon him?
