Job 27:4

New International Reader's Version

my mouth won’t say evil things. My lips won’t tell lies.

See the chapter Copy

Will you say evil things in order to help God? Will you tell lies for him?

But I haven’t harmed anyone. My prayers to God are pure.

“Who can prove that what I’m saying is wrong? Who can prove that my words aren’t true?”

What I say comes from an honest heart. My lips speak only what I know is true.

Even though I’m right, he thinks I’m a liar. Even though I’m not guilty, his arrows give me wounds that can’t be healed.’

“But now please look at me. Would I tell you a lie right here in front of you?

You do not know him. But I know him. If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him. And I obey his word.

I’m sure that the truth of Christ is in me. And I’m just as sure that nobody in Achaia will keep me from bragging.
