Job 27:3

Job 27:3verily, while my breath is yet in me, and the breath of God which remains to me is in my nostrils,

Job 27:4

Job 27:4my lips shall not speak evil words, neither shall my soul meditate unrighteous thoughts.

Job 27:5

Job 27:5Far be it from me that I should justify you till I die; for I will not let go my innocence,

Job 27:6

Job 27:6but keeping fast to my righteousness I will by no means let it go: for I am not conscious to myself of having done any thing amiss.

Job 27:7

Job 27:7Nay rather, but let mine enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, and they that rise up against me, as the destruction of transgressors.
