Job 3:1-19

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.
