“ As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made my life bitter,

“ God hasn’t treated me fairly. The Mighty One has made my life bitter. You can be sure that God lives. And here’s something else you can be sure of.

“ As God lives, who has taken away my right, and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,

“ I vow by the living God, who has taken away my rights, by the Almighty who has embittered my soul—

As God lives, who has deprived me of justice, and the Almighty who has made me bitter,

“ As God lives, who has taken away my right, And the Almighty, who has embittered my soul,

“ As God lives, who has taken away my justice, And the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,

As God liveth, who hath taken away my right, And the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul

As God lives, who has deprived me of justice, and the Almighty who has made me bitter,

[ As] God liveth,[ who] hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty,[ who] hath vexed my soul;

“ As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made my life bitter–

For Job has said,‘ I am righteous, God has taken away my right:

When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said,“ Leave her alone; for her soul is troubled within her; and Yahweh has hidden it from me, and has not told me.”

but in very deed— as I live, and as all the earth shall be filled with Yahweh’s glory—

Why do you say, Jacob, and speak, Israel,“ My way is hidden from Yahweh, and the justice due me is disregarded by my God?”

Joab said,“ As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed his brother.”

Elijah the Tishbite, who was one of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab,“ As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.”

The people said to Saul,“ Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As Yahweh lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescued Jonathan, that he didn’t die.

Stay this night, and in the morning, if he will perform for you the part of a kinsman, good. Let him do the kinsman’s duty. But if he will not do the duty of a kinsman for you, then I will do the duty of a kinsman for you, as Yahweh lives. Lie down until the morning.”

Elijah said,“ As Yahweh of Armies lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today.”

For indeed, as Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from harming you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely there wouldn’t have been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one who urinates on a wall.”

Tell them,‘“ As I live,” says the Lord Yahweh,“ I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, house of Israel?”’

She said to them,“ Don’t call me Naomi. Call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.I went out full, and Yahweh has brought me home again empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since Yahweh has testified against me, and the Almighty has afflicted me?”

Though they say,‘ As Yahweh lives,’ surely they swear falsely.”

Now therefore, my lord, as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, since Yahweh has withheld you from blood guiltiness, and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now therefore let your enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.

and you will swear,‘ As Yahweh lives,’ in truth, in justice, and in righteousness. The nations will bless themselves in him, and they will glory in him.”

He will not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.

Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?

For, as Yahweh lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.

It will happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name,‘ As Yahweh lives;’ even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then they will be built up in the middle of my people.

Behold, I will send the boy, saying,‘ Go, find the arrows!’ If I tell the boy,‘ Behold, the arrows are on this side of you. Take them;’ then come; for there is peace to you and no danger, as Yahweh lives.
