My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

Verse 6 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.

Von meiner Gerechtigkeit, die ich habe, will ich nicht lassen; mein Gewissen beißt mich nicht meines ganzen Lebens halben.
Mi justicia tengo asida, y no la cederé: No me reprochará mi corazón en el tiempo de mi vida.
Me aferro a mi justicia y no la soltaré; mi corazón no me reprocha ninguno de mis días.
Je tiens à me justifier, et je ne faiblirai pas; Mon coeur ne me fait de reproche sur aucun de mes jours.
Io ho presa in mano la difesa della mia giustizia, io non la lascerò; Il cuor mio non mi farà vergogna giammai in tempo di vita mia
À minha justiça me apegarei e não a largarei; não me reprovará o meu coração em toda a minha vida.
我持定我的義,並不放鬆; 在世的日子,我的心不責備我。
