3 as long as I have life within me, the breath of God in my nostrils,
3 as long as my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
3 But for as long as I draw breath, and for as long as God breathes life into me,
3 As long as my breath is in me, And the breath of God in my nostrils,
3 As long as I live, while I have breath from God,
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 27:3
Commentary on Job 27:1-6
(Read Job 27:1-6)
Job's friends now suffered him to speak, and he proceeded in a grave and useful manner. Job had confidence in the goodness both of his cause and of his God; and cheerfully committed his cause to him. But Job had not due reverence when he spake of God as taking away his judgment, and vexing his soul. To resolve that our hearts shall not reproach us, while we hold fast our integrity, baffles the designs of the evil spirit.
