Job 27:4

IntegrityTruth and honestyWords and speech

2 “As surely as God lives, who has deprived me of justice— the Almighty, who has embittered my soul—

3 as long as my breath is still within me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,

my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will not utter deceit.

5 I will never say that you are right; I will maintain my integrity until I die.

6 I will cling to my righteousness and never let go. As long as I live, my conscience will not accuse me.
