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. |

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 |
10 Because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb, nor hide trouble from my eyes. |

12 Why was I reared at my mother's knee? Why did I suck the breasts? |
