Job 27:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 27:5
Job vows: 'God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.' The phrase chalilah li (חָלִילָה לִּי, God forbid) is a strong denial—'far be it from me.' The verb tsadaq (צָדַק, justify) means to declare righteous or vindicate. Job refuses to validate his friends' false accusations even to end the argument. The phrase 'till I die I will not remove mine integrity' (ad-egva lo-asir tummati mimmenni, עַד־אֶגְוָע לֹא־אָסִיר תֻּמָּתִי מִמֶּנִּי) shows absolute commitment to truth. Job would rather die maintaining innocence than live confessing false guilt.
