Jó 27:4

4 não falarão os meus lábios iniqüidade, nem a minha língua pronunciará engano.

Jó 27:4 Meaning and Commentary

Job 27:4

My lips shall not speak wickedness
This is the thing he swears to, this the matter of his oath, not only that he would not speak a wicked word not anything corrupt, unsavoury, unchaste, profane, and idle nor speak evil of his neighbours and friends or of any man; but that he would not speak wickedly of himself, as he must do, if he owned himself to be a wicked man and an hypocrite as his friends charged him, and they would have had him confessed; but he swears he would not utter such wickedness as long as he had any breath in him:

nor my tongue utter deceit;
which respects the same thing; not merely any fallacy or lie, or what might impose upon and deceive another, which yet he was careful of; but such deceit and falsehood as would be a belying himself, which would be the case should he say that he was devoid of integrity and sincerity.

Jó 27:4 In-Context

2 Vive Deus, que me tirou o direito, e o Todo-Poderoso, que me amargurou a alma;

3 enquanto em mim houver alento, e o sopro de Deus no meu nariz,

4 não falarão os meus lábios iniqüidade, nem a minha língua pronunciará engano.

5 Longe de mim que eu vos dê razão; até que eu morra, nunca apartarei de mim a minha integridade.

6 ë minha justiça me apegarei e não a largarei; o meu coração não reprova dia algum da minha vida.
