Job 27:6 - Exposition

My righteousness I held fast, and will not let it go . Not only will Job never cease to maintain his integrity in the past, but he will hold fast to the same course of blameless life in the future. He will not "curse God, and die." Resolutely he will maintain his faith in God, and his dependence on him. "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him." My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live . This is probably the true meaning, though some suggest "My heart doth not reproach me for any of my days" Job determines to "have always a conscience void of offence, both toward God and toward man" ( Acts 24:16 ; comp. Acts 23:1 ; 1 Corinthians 4:4 ; 2 Timothy 1:3 ; 1 John 3:21 ).
