Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:1 - After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:2 -
And Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:3 -
Let the day perish wherein I was born,
And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:4 -
Let that day be darkness;
Let not God from above seek for it,
Neither let the light shine upon it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:5 -
Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own;
Let a cloud dwell upon it;
Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:6 -
As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it:
Let it not rejoice among the days of the year;
Let it not come into the number of the months.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:7 -
Lo, let that night be barren;
Let no joyful voice come therein.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:8 -
Let them curse it that curse the day,
Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:9 -
Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark:
Let it look for light, but have none;
Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:10 -
Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb,
Nor hid trouble from mine eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:11 -
Why died I not from the womb?
Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:12 -
Why did the knees receive me?
Or why the breasts, that I should suck?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:13 -
For now should I have lain down and been quiet;
I should have slept; then had I been at rest,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:14 -
With kings and counsellors of the earth,
Who built up waste places for themselves;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:15 -
Or with princes that had gold,
Who filled their houses with silver:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:16 -
Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been,
As infants that never saw light.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:17 -
There the wicked cease from troubling;
And there the weary are at rest.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:18 -
There the prisoners are at ease together;
They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:19 -
The small and the great are there:
And the servant is free from his master.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:20 -
Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery,
And life unto the bitter in soul;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:21 -
Who long for death, but it cometh not,
And dig for it more than for hid treasures;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:22 -
Who rejoice exceedingly,
And are glad, when they can find the grave?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:23 -
Why is light given to a man whose way is hid,
And whom God hath hedged in?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:24 -
For my sighing cometh before I eat,
And my groanings are poured out like water.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:25 -
For the thing which I fear cometh upon me,
And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:26 -
I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest;
But trouble cometh.
