Job 2
Job 3
Job 3:1. After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
Job 3:2. And Job spake, and said,
Job 3:3. Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
Job 3:4. Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
Job 3:5. Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
Job 3:6. 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.
Job 3:7. Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
Job 3:8. Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
Job 3:9. 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:
Job 3:10. Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
Job 3:11. Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
Job 3:12. Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
Job 3:13. For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
Job 3:14. With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;
Job 3:15. Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
Job 3:16. Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
Job 3:17. There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
Job 3:18. There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
Job 3:19. The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
Job 3:20. Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
Job 3:21. Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
Job 3:22. Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
Job 3:23. Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
Job 3:24. For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
Job 3:25. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
Job 3:26. I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
