Verse 4 is found in chapter 27 of Job. Job insists on his integrity and refuses to accept an accusation he considers false. He declares that as long as he has life he will not abandon his righteousness. He also describes the destiny of the wicked, showing that his disagreement with his friends does not mean he has abandoned the conviction that judgment exists. His dispute concerns the identification of the righteous and wicked in the specific case.

meine Lippen sollen nichts Unrechtes reden, und meine Zunge soll keinen Betrug sagen.
Mis labios no hablarán iniquidad, Ni mi lengua pronunciará engaño.
mis labios no hablarán injusticia ni mi lengua pronunciará engaño.
Mes lèvres ne prononceront rien d'injuste, Ma langue ne dira rien de faux.
Le mie labbra giammai non parleranno perversamente, E la mia lingua giammai non ragionerà frodolentemente.
Não falarão os meus lábios iniqüidade, nem a minha língua pronunciará engano.
我的唇絕不說不義, 我的舌也不說詭詐。
