OT
Job 3
1
¶ After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
2
And Job spake, and said,
3
Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night [in which] it was said, There is a man child conceived.
4
Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
5
Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6
As [for] that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
7
Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
8
Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
9
Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but [have] none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
10
Because it shut not up the doors of my [mother's] womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
11
¶ Why died I not from the womb? [why] did I [not] give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
12
Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
13
For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
14
With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;
15
Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
16
Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants [which] never saw light.
17
There the wicked cease [from] troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
18
[There] the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
19
The small and great are there; and the servant [is] free from his master.
20
¶ Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter [in] soul;
21
Which long for death, but it [cometh] not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
22
Which rejoice exceedingly, [and] are glad, when they can find the grave?
23
[Why is light given] to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
24
For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
25
For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
26
I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
