Job 3
3:1

After310 this opened6605 Job347 his mouth,6310 and cursed7043 his day.3117

3:2

And Job347 spake,6030 and said,559

3:3

Let the day3117 perish6 wherein I was born,3205 and the night3915 in which it was said,559 There is a man1397 child conceived.2029

3:4

Let that day3117 be darkness;2822 let not Eloah433 regard1875 it from above,4605 neither let the light5105 shine3313 upon it.

3:5

Let darkness2822 and the shadow of death6757 stain1350 it; let a cloud6053 dwell7931 upon it; let the blackness3650 of the day3117 terrify1204 it.

3:6

As for that night,3915 let darkness652 seize3947 upon it; let it not be joined2302 unto the days3117 of the year,8141 let it not come935 into the number4557 of the months.3391

3:7

Lo, let that night3915 be solitary,1565 let no joyful voice7445 come935 therein.

3:8

Let them curse5344 it that curse779 the day,3117 who are ready6264 to raise up5782 their mourning.3882

3:9

Let the stars3556 of the twilight5399 thereof be dark;2821 let it look6960 for light,216 but have none; neither let it see7200 the dawning6079 of the day:7837

3:10

Because it shut5462 not up the doors1817 of my mother's womb,990 nor hid5641 sorrow5999 from mine eyes.5869

3:11

Why died4191 I not from the womb?7358 why did I not give up the breath1478 when I came out3318 of the belly?990

3:12

Why did the knees1290 prevent6923 me? or why the breasts7699 that I should suck?3243

3:13

For now should I have lain still7901 and been quiet,8252 I should have slept:3462 then had I been at rest,5117

3:14

With kings4428 and counsellors3289 of the earth,776 which built1129 desolate places2723 for themselves;

3:15

Or with princes8269 that had gold,2091 who filled4390 their houses1004 with silver:3701

3:16

Or as an hidden2934 untimely birth5309 I had not been; as infants5768 which never saw7200 light.216

3:17

There the wicked7563 cease2308 from troubling;7267 and there the weary3019 be at rest.5117

3:18

There the prisoners615 rest7599 together;3162 they hear8085 not the voice6963 of the oppressor.5065

3:19

The small6996 and great1419 are there; and the servant5650 is free2670 from his master.113

3:20

Wherefore is light216 given5414 to him that is in misery,6001 and life2416 unto the bitter4751 in soul;5315

3:21

Which long2442 for death,4194 but it cometh not; and dig2658 for it more than for hid treasures;4301

3:22

Which rejoice8056 exceedingly,1524 and are glad,7797 when they can find4672 the grave?6913

3:23

Why is light given to a man1397 whose way1870 is hid,5641 and whom Eloah433 hath hedged in?5526

3:24

For my sighing585 cometh935 before6440 I eat,3899 and my roarings7581 are poured out5413 like the waters.4325

3:25

For the thing which I greatly6343 feared6342 is come857 upon me, and that which I was afraid3025 of is come935 unto me.

3:26

I was not in safety,7951 neither had I rest,8252 neither was I quiet;5117 yet trouble7267 came.935
