JobChapter 3 |
1 AFTER this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day wherein he was born. |
2 Then Job spoke and said, |
3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, A male child is conceived. |
4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. |
5 Let the darkness and the shadow of death cover it; let a cloud overshadow it; let those whose days are bitter be terrified by it. |
6 As for that night, let thick darkness cover it; let that day not be reckoned in the number of the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months. |
7 Lo, let that night be desolate, let no voice of praise come therein. |
8 Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to stir up Leviathan. |
9 Let the stars of twilight thereof be dark; let the people wait for light, but receive none; neither let them see the dawning of the day; |
10 Because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb, nor hide trouble from my eyes. |
11 Why did I not die from the womb? Why did I come forth at birth? |
12 Why was I reared at my mother's knee? Why did I suck the breasts? |
13 For now I should have been laid in the grave and been quiet, I should have slept; then I should have been at rest, |
14 With kings and governors of the earth who built desolate places for themselves; |
15 Or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver; |
16 Or like a hidden untimely birth, as if I had not been; like infants that never saw the light. |
17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary are at rest. |
18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. |
19 The small and the great are there; and the servant is free from his master. |
20 Why is light given to him who is in trouble, and life to the bitter in soul, |
21 Who long for death, but it comes not, and seek it as one seeks a hidden treasure; |
22 Who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad when they can find the grave? |
23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, whom God has hedged in? |
24 For my sighing comes before I eat, and my moanings are poured out like water. |
25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of has befallen me. |
26 I am not at ease, neither am I calm, nor am I at rest; and yet misfortune came. |

20 Why is light given to him who is in trouble, and life to the bitter in soul, |
20 Why |
