Job 3

Darby Bible

1After this, JobH347 openedH6605 his mouthH6310 and cursedH7043 his dayH3117. 2And JobH347 answered and saidH559, 3Let the dayH3117 perishH6 in which I was bornH3205, and the nightH3915 that saidH559, There is a manH1397 child conceived. 4That dayH3117 — let it beH1961 darknessH2822, let not 1GodH433 careH1875 for it from above, neither let light shineH3313 upon it: 5Let darknessH2822 and the shadow of death claim it; let clouds dwellH7931 upon it; let darkeners of the dayH3117 terrifyH1204 it. 6That nightH3915 — let gloomH652 seize upon it; let it not rejoice among the daysH3117 of the yearH8141; let it not comeH935 into the numberH4557 of the monthsH3391. 7Behold, let that nightH3915 beH1961 barrenH1565; let no joyful sound comeH935 therein; 8Let them curseH779 it that curseH779 the dayH3117, who are readyH6264 to rouseH5782 LeviathanH3882; 9Let the starsH3556 of its twilightH5399 be darkH2821; let it waitH6960 for lightH216, and have none, neither let it seeH7200 the eyelidsH6079 of the dawnH7837: 10Because it shutH5462 not up the doorsH1817 of the wombH990 that bore me, and hidH5641 not troubleH5999 from mine eyesH5869. 11Wherefore did I not dieH4191 from the wombH990, — comeH3318 forthH3318 from the bellyH990 and expireH1478? 12WhyH4100 did the knees meetH6923 me? and wherefore 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 buildH1129 desolate placesH2723 for themselves, 15Or with princesH8269 who had goldH2091, who filledH4390 their housesH1004 with silverH3701; 16Or as a hiddenH2934 untimely birth I had not beenH1961; as infants that have not seenH7200 the lightH216. 17There the wickedH7563 ceaseH2308 from troubling; and there the wearied are at restH5117. 18The prisonersH615 togetherH3162 are at easeH7599; they hearH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the taskmasterH5065. 19The smallH6996 and greatH1419 are there, and the bondman freedH2670 from his masterH113. 20Wherefore is lightH216 givenH5414 to him that is in trouble, and lifeH5315 to those bitterH4751 of soulH5315, 21Who long for deathH4194, and it [cometh] not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures; 22Who rejoiceH8055 even exultingly and are gladH8055 when they findH4672 the graveH6913? — 23To the manH1397 whose wayH1870 is hiddenH5641, and whom 2GodH433 hath hedged in? 24For my sighingH585 cometh before my breadH3899, and my groanings are pouredH5413 out like the watersH4325. 25For I fearedH6343 a fearH6343, and it hath comeH935 upon me, and that which I dreaded hath comeH935 to me. 26I was not in safety, neither had I quietnessH8252, neither was I at restH5117, and trouble cameH935.
