Job 27:2-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 27
2'As God lives, who has taken away my right, And the Almighty, who has embittered my soul, 3For as long as life is in me, And the breath of God is in my nostrils, 4My lips certainly will not speak unjustly, Nor will my tongue mutter deceit. 5Far be it from me that I should declare you right; Until I die, I will not give up my integrity. 6I have kept hold of my righteousness and will not let it go. My heart does not rebuke any of my days. 7'May my enemy be as the wicked, And my opponent as the criminal.King James Version
Chapter 27
2As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul; 3All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; 4My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. 5God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. 6My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 27
2As God lives, who has deprived me of justice, and the Almighty who has made me bitter, 3as long as my breath is still in me and the breath from God remains in my nostrils, 4my lips will not speak unjustly, and my tongue will not utter deceit. 5I will never affirm that you are right. I will maintain my integrity until I die. 6I will cling to my righteousness and never let it go. My conscience will not accuse me as long as I live! 7May my enemy be like the wicked and my opponent like the unjust.New Living Translation
Chapter 27
2'I vow by the living God, who has taken away my rights, by the Almighty who has embittered my soul — 3As long as I live, while I have breath from God, 4my lips will speak no evil, and my tongue will speak no lies. 5I will never concede that you are right; I will defend my integrity until I die. 6I will maintain my innocence without wavering. My conscience is clear for as long as I live.English Standard Version

2“As God lives, who has taken away my right, and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter, 3as long as my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils, 4my lips will not speak falsehood, and my tongue will not utter deceit. 5Far be it from me to say that you are right; till I die I will not put away my integrity from me. 6I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go; my heart does not reproach me for any of my days. 7“Let my enemy be as the wicked, and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.New International Version

2As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made my life bitter, 3as long as I have life within me, the breath of God in my nostrils, 4my lips will not say anything wicked, and my tongue will not utter lies. 5I will never admit you are in the right; till I die, I will not deny my integrity.New King James Version
