Here is a verse i like from the book of job...
"As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the almighty, who made me taste bitterness of soul, as long as i have life within me, the breath of God in my nostrils, my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will utter no deceit. I will never admit you are in the right, till i die, i will not deny my integrity" JOB 27:2-5.
