Job continued his discourse, saying:

2 As God lives, who has deprived me of justice,g

and the Almighty who has made me bitter,h

3 as long as my breath is still in me

and the breath from God remains in my nostrils,i

4 my lips will not speak unjustly,

and my tongue will not utter deceit.

5 I will never affirm that you are right.

I will maintain my integrityB,j until I die.

6 I will cling to my righteousness and never let it go.

My consciencek will not accuse me as long as I live!
