Job 27:4

4 mis labios no pronunciarán maldad
y mi lengua no hablará mentiras.

Job 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.

Job 27:4 In-Context

2 «Juro por el Dios viviente, quien me ha quitado los derechos,
por el Todopoderoso, quien llenó mi alma de amargura.

3 Mientras viva,
mientras Dios me dé aliento,

4 mis labios no pronunciarán maldad
y mi lengua no hablará mentiras.

5 Jamás admitiré que ustedes tengan la razón;
defenderé mi integridad hasta la muerte.

6 Insistiré en mi inocencia sin vacilar;
mientras viva, mi conciencia estará tranquila.
