Chapter 3 | |
1 | After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. |
2 | And Job spake, and said, |
3 | Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. |
4 | Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. |
5 | Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. |
6 | As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months. |
7 | Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein. |
8 | Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. |
9 | Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day: |
10 | Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. |
11 | Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? |
12 | Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? |
13 | For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, |
14 | With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves; |
15 | Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: |
16 | Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. |
17 | There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. |
18 | There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. |
19 | The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. |
20 | Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; |
21 | Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; |
22 | Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? |
23 | Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? |
24 | For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. |
25 | For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. |
26 | I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came. |
