New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 27
1 Job continued speaking:
2 “I vow by the living God, who has taken away my rights, by the Almighty who has embittered my soul—
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.
6 I will maintain my innocence without wavering. My conscience is clear for as long as I live.
7 “May my enemy be punished like the wicked, my adversary like those who do evil.
8 For what hope do the godless have when God cuts them off and takes away their life?
9 Will God listen to their cry when trouble comes upon them?
10 Can they take delight in the Almighty? Can they call to God at any time?
11 I will teach you about God’s power. I will not conceal anything concerning the Almighty.
