Job 3:3-12

3“May the dayH3117 of my birthH3205 perishH6, and the nightH3915 it was saidH559, ‘A boyH1397 is conceivedH2029.’4If only thatH1931 dayH3117 had turnedH1961 to darknessH2822! May GodH433 aboveH4605H408 disregard itH408H1875; may no lightH5105 shineH3313 upon itH5921.5May darknessH2822 and gloomH6757 reclaim itH1350, and a cloudH6053 settleH7931 over itH5921; may the blacknessH3650 of the dayH3117 overwhelm itH1204.6If only darknessH652 had takenH1931 that nightH3915 awayH3947! May it notH408 appearH2302 among the daysH3117 of the yearH8141; may it neverH408 be enteredH935 in anyH4557 of the monthsH3391.7BeholdH2009, may thatH1931 nightH3915 beH1961 barrenH1565; may noH408 joyful voiceH7445 comeH935 into it.8May it be cursedH779 by those who curseH6895 the dayH31171— those preparedH6264 to rouseH5782 LeviathanH3882.9May its morningH5399 starsH3556 grow darkH2821; may it waitH6960 in vainH369 for daylightH216; may it notH408 seeH7200 the breakingH6079 of dawnH7837.10ForH3588 that night did notH3808 shutH5462 the doorsH1817 of the wombH990 to hideH5641 the sorrowH5999 from my eyesH5869.

11WhyH4100 did I not perishH3808H4191 at birthH7358;why did I not dieH1478 as I cameH3318 from the wombH990?12WhyH4069 were there kneesH1290 to receive meH6923,and breastsH7699 thatH3588 I should be nursedH3243?
