| Job 3:1 |
|
After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed
his day. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 3:2 |
|
And Job spake, and said, |
| |
|
|
| Job 3:3 |
|
Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the
night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. |
| |
|
|
| Job 3:4 |
|
Let that day be darkness; let not God regard
it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. |
| |
|
|
| Job 3:5 |
|
Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it;
let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. |
| |
|
|
| Job 3:6 |
|
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. |
| |
|
|
| Job 3:7 |
|
Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful
voice come therein. |
|
|
|
| Job 3:8 |
|
Let them curse it that curse the day, who are
ready to raise up their mourning. |
|
|
|
| Job 3:9 |
|
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: |
|
|
|
| Job 3:10 |
|
Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's
womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. |
|
|
|
| Job 3:11 |
|
Why died I not from the womb? why did I not
give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? |
|
|
|
| Job 3:12 |
|
Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts
that I should suck? |
|
|
|
| Job 3:13 |
|
For now should I have lain still and been quiet,
I should have slept: then had I been at rest, |
|
|
|
| Job 3:14 |
|
With kings and counsellors of the earth, which
build desolate places for themselves; |
|
|
|
| Job 3:15 |
|
Or with princes that had gold, who filled their
houses with silver: |
|
|
|
| Job 3:16 |
|
Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been;
as infants which never saw light. |
|
|
|
| Job 3:17 |
|
There the wicked cease from troubling; and there
the weary be at rest. |
|
|
|
| Job 3:18 |
|
There the prisoners rest together; they hear
not the voice of the oppressor. |
|
|
|
| Job 3:19 |
|
The small and great are there; and the servant
is free from his master. |
| |
|
|
| Job 3:20 |
|
Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery,
and life unto the bitter in soul; |
| |
|
|
| Job 3:21 |
|
Which long for death, but it cometh not; and
dig for it more than for hid treasures; |
|
|
|
|
| Job 3:22 |
|
Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when
they can find the grave? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 3:23 |
|
Why is light given to a man whose way is hid,
and whom God hath hedged in? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 3:24 |
|
For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings
are poured out like the waters. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 3:25 |
|
For the thing which I greatly feared is come
upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 3:26 |
|
I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither
was I quiet; yet trouble came. |
