6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
6 I will maintain my innocence and never let go of it; my conscience will not reproach me as long as I live.
6 I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go; my heart does not reproach me for any of my days.
6 I'm holding fast to my integrity and not loosening my grip - and, believe me, I'll never regret it.
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go; My heart shall not reproach me as long as I live.
6 I will maintain my innocence without wavering. My conscience is clear for as long as I live.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 27:6
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.
