Job 3:1-19
1After this openedH6605 JobH347 his mouthH6310, and cursedH7043 his dayH3117.
2And JobH347 answered and saidH559:3Let the dayH3117 perishH6 wherein I was bornH3205,And the nightH3915 which saidH559, There is a man-child conceived.4Let that dayH3117 beH1961 darknessH2822;Let not GodH433 from above seekH1875 for it,Neither let the light shineH3313 upon it.5Let darknessH2822 and the shadow of death claim it for their own;Let a cloud dwellH7931 upon it;Let all that maketh black the dayH3117 terrifyH1204 it.6As for that nightH3915, let thick darknessH652 seize upon it:Let it not rejoice among the daysH3117 of the yearH8141;Let it not comeH935 into the numberH4557 of the monthsH3391.7Lo, let that nightH3915 beH1961 barrenH1565;Let no joyful voice comeH935 therein.8Let them curseH779 it that curseH779 the dayH3117,Who are readyH6264 to rouseH5782 up leviathanH3882.9Let the starsH3556 of the twilightH5399 thereof be darkH2821:Let it lookH7200 for lightH216, but have none;Neither let it behold the eyelidsH6079 of the morning:10Because it shutH5462 not up the doorsH1817 of mymother’swombH990,Nor hidH5641 troubleH5999 from mine eyesH5869.11WhyH4100 diedH4191 I not from the wombH990?WhyH4100 did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?12WhyH4100 did the knees receive me?Or whyH4100 the breastsH7699, that I should suckH3243?13For nowH6258 should I have lainH7901 downH7901 and been quietH8252;I should have slept; thenH227 had I been at restH5117,14With kingsH4428 and counsellors of the earthH776,Who builtH1129 up wasteH2723 placesH2723 for themselves;15Or with princesH8269 that had goldH2091,Who filledH4390 their housesH1004 with silverH3701:16Or as a hiddenH2934 untimely birth I had not beenH1961,As infants that never sawH7200 lightH216.17There the wickedH7563 ceaseH2308 from troubling;And there the weary are at restH5117.18There the prisonersH615 are at easeH7599 togetherH3162;They hearH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the taskmasterH5065.19The smallH6996 and the greatH1419 are there:And the servantH5650 is freeH2670 from his masterH113.
