Job 3:1-19

1AfterH310 this openedH6605 JobH347 his mouthH6310, and cursedH7043 his dayH3117.

2And JobH347 answeredH559 and saidH559:

3Let the dayH3117 perishH6 wherein I was bornH3205, and the nightH3915 which saidH559, There is a manH1397 childH2030 conceived.

4LetH408 that dayH3117 be darknessH2822; letH408 notH408 GodH433 regardH5921 it from aboveH5921, neitherH408 letH408 the lightH5105 shineH3313 uponH5921 it.

5LetH1350 darknessH2822 and the shadowH6757 of deathH6757 claimH1350 it for their own; letH1350 a cloudH6053 dwellH7931 uponH5921 it; letH1350 allH3117 that maketh blackH6757 the dayH3117 terrifyH1204 it.

6As for that nightH3915, letH408 thick darknessH652 seizeH3947 uponH935 it: letH408 it notH408 rejoice among the daysH3117 of the yearH8141; letH408 it notH408 comeH935 intoH935 the numberH4557 of the monthsH3391.

7LoH2009, letH408 that nightH3915 be barrenH1565; letH408 noH408 joyfulH7445 voice comeH935 therein.

8Let them curseH779 it that curseH779 the dayH3117, who are readyH6264 to rouseH5782 upH5782 leviathanH3882.

9LetH408 the starsH3556 of the twilightH5399 thereof be darkH2821: letH408 it lookH7200 for lightH216, but have noneH369; neitherH369 letH408 it beholdH7200 the eyelidsH6079 of the morningH7837:

10BecauseH3588 it shutH5462 notH3808 upH5462 the doorsH1817 of my mother’s wombH990, norH3808 hidH5641 troubleH5999 from mine eyesH5869.

11WhyH4100 diedH4191 I notH3808 from the wombH990? whyH4100 didH4100 I notH3808 give up the ghost when I cameH3318 outH3318 of the bellyH990?

12WhyH4100 didH4100 the kneesH1290 receiveH6923 meH4100? or whyH4100 the breastsH7699, that I should suckH3243?

13For nowH6258 should I have lainH7901 downH7901 and been quietH8252; I should have sleptH7901; then had I been at restH5117:

14With kingsH4428 and counsellors of the earthH776, which builtH1129 upH1129 wasteH2723 placesH2723 for themselvesH1129;

15Or with princesH8269 that had goldH2091, who filledH4390 their housesH1004 with silverH3701:

16Or as an hiddenH2934 untimely birthH3808 I had notH3808 been; as infantsH5768 which neverH3808 sawH7200 lightH216.

17There the wickedH7563 ceaseH2308 from troubling; and there the wearyH3019 be at restH5117.

18There the prisonersH615 are at easeH7599 togetherH3162; they hearH8085 notH3808 the voiceH6963 of the taskmasterH5065.

19The smallH6996 and greatH1419 are there; and the servantH5650 is freeH2670 from his masterH113.
