Job 27:3–5

3 as long as I have life within me,

the breath of God in my nostrils,

4 my lips will not say anything wicked,

and my tongue will not utter lies.

5 I will never admit you are in the right;

till I die, I will not deny my integrity.

3 as long as my breath is in me,

and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,

4 my lips will not speak falsehood,

and my tongue will not utter deceit.

5 Far be it from me to say that you are right;

till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

3 All the while my breath is in me,

And the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

4 My lips shall not speak wickedness,

Nor my tongue utter deceit.

5 God forbid that I should justify you:

Till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.

3 As long as I live,

while I have breath from God,

4 my lips will speak no evil,

and my tongue will speak no lies.

5 I will never concede that you are right;

I will defend my integrity until I die.

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.

3 as long as I am alive

and God’s breath of life is in my nose,

4 my lips will not speak evil,

and my tongue will not tell a lie.

5 I will never agree you are right;

until I die, I will never stop saying I am innocent.

3 (For my life is yet whole in me,

And the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

4 Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness,

Neither shall my tongue utter deceit.

5 Far be it from me that I should justify you:

Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.

3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of †God is in my nostrils, 4 My lips shall not speak unrighteousness, nor my tongue utter deceit! 5 Be it far from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not remove my blamelessness from me.

3 ‘As long as there is one breath ⸤left⸥ in me 

and God’s breath fills my nostrils, 

4 my lips will not say anything wrong, 

and my tongue will not mumble anything deceitful.’ 

5 It’s unthinkable for me to admit that you are right. 

Until I breathe my last breath, I will never give up my claim of integrity. 

3 as long as my breath is still in me

and the breath from God remains in my nostrils,

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 integrity until I die.

3 as long as my breath is in me

and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,

4 my lips will not speak falsehood,

and my tongue will not utter deceit.

5 Far be it from me to say that you are right;

until I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

3 For as long as my breath is in me,

and the spirit of God is in my nose,

4 my lips surely will not speak falseness,

and my tongue surely will not utter deceit.

5 Far be it from me that I would say that you are right;

until I pass away, I will not put away from me my blamelessness.

3 As long as I have life

and God gives me breath,

4 my mouth won’t say evil things.

My lips won’t tell lies.

5 I’ll never admit you people are right.

Until I die, I’ll say I’m telling the truth.

3 For as long as life is in me,

And the breath of God is in my nostrils,

4 My lips certainly will not speak unjustly,

Nor will my tongue mutter deceit.

5 “Far be it from me that I should declare you right;

Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
