Job 3 Verses
1
|
After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. |
3
|
"May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said,`A boy is born!' |
4
|
That day--may it turn to darkness; may God above not care about it; may no light shine upon it. |
5
|
May darkness and deep shadow claim it once more; may a cloud settle over it; may blackness overwhelm its light. |
6
|
That night--may thick darkness seize it; may it not be included among the days of the year nor be entered in any of the months. |
7
|
May that night be barren; may no shout of joy be heard in it. |
8
|
May those who curse days curse that day, those who are ready to rouse Leviathan. |
9
|
May its morning stars become dark; may it wait for daylight in vain and not see the first rays of dawn, |
10
|
for it did not shut the doors of the womb on me to hide trouble from my eyes. |
11
|
"Why did I not perish at birth, and die as I came from the womb? |
12
|
Why were there knees to receive me and breasts that I might be nursed? |
13
|
For now I would be lying down in peace; I would be asleep and at rest |
14
|
with kings and counsellors of the earth, who built for themselves places now lying in ruins, |
15
|
with rulers who had gold, who filled their houses with silver. |
16
|
Or why was I not hidden in the ground like a stillborn child, like an infant who never saw the light of day? |
17
|
There the wicked cease from turmoil, and there the weary are at rest. |
18
|
Captives also enjoy their ease; they no longer hear the slave driver's shout. |
19
|
The small and the great are there, and the slave is freed from his master. |
20
|
"Why is light given to those in misery, and life to the bitter of soul, |
21
|
to those who long for death that does not come, who search for it more than for hidden treasure, |
22
|
who are filled with gladness and rejoice when they reach the grave? |
23
|
Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in? |
24
|
For sighing comes to me instead of food; my groans pour out like water. |
25
|
What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me. |
26
|
I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil." |
