2“As surely as God lives, who has deprived me of justice —
the Almighty, who has embittered my soul —
3as long as my breath is still within me
and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
4my lips will not speak wickedness,
and my tongue will not utter deceit.
5I will never say that you are right;
I will maintain my integrity until I die.
6I will cling to my righteousness and never let go.
As long as I live, my conscience will not accuse me.
— Job 27:2-6
