Holy Scripture
Job 27:5
A church father on this verse
“This is what Job means, one who is full of iniquity has neither liberty to express himself nor to say what I say now. Rather, he has been taken away and stays silent. On the contrary, I did not experience that, but I speak and answer. But the same does not happen to those who are iniquitous.”

In context
3Verily, while my breath is yet in me, And the breath of God which remains to me is in my nostrils,
4My lips shall not speak evil words, Neither shall my soul meditate unrighteous thoughts.
— Job 27:5 —
6But keeping fast to my righteousness I will by no means let it go: For I am not conscious to myself of having done anything amiss.
7Nay rather, but let mine enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, And they that rise up against me, as the destruction of transgressors.
