Job's Again Protests his Innocence

Job 27:1-10

1 Moreover Job continueda his parable, and said,

2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexedb my soul;

3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spiritc 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.

6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.

8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
