Strongs On/Off
Context
A Protest of Innocence
27:1 And Job took up his discourse again :
27:2 “As surely as God lives , who has denied me justice , the Almighty , who has made my life bitter –
27:3 for while my spirit is still in me, and the breath from God is in my nostrils ,
27:4 my lips will not speak wickedness , and my tongue will whisper no deceit .
27:5 I will never declare that you three are in the right ; until I die , I will not set aside my integrity !
27:6 I will maintain my righteousness and never let it go ; my conscience will not reproach me for as long as I live .
