Job 3 Verses
1
|
After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his [birth.] |
2
|
And Job spoke, and said: |
3
|
"May the day perish on which I was born, And the night [in which] it was said, 'A male child is conceived.' |
4
|
May that day be darkness; May God above not seek it, Nor the light shine upon it. |
5
|
May darkness and the shadow of death claim it; May a cloud settle on it; May the blackness of the day terrify it. |
6
|
[As for] that night, may darkness seize it; May it not rejoice among the days of the year, May it not come into the number of the months. |
7
|
Oh, may that night be barren! May no joyful shout come into it! |
8
|
May those curse it who curse the day, Those who are ready to arouse Leviathan. |
9
|
May the stars of its morning be dark; May it look for light, but [have] none, And not see the dawning of the day; |
10
|
Because it did not shut up the doors of my [mother's] womb, Nor hide sorrow from my eyes. |
11
|
"Why did I not die at birth? [Why] did I [not] perish when I came from the womb? |
12
|
Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should nurse? |
13
|
For now I would have lain still and been quiet, I would have been asleep; Then I would have been at rest |
14
|
With kings and counselors of the earth, Who built ruins for themselves, |
15
|
Or with princes who had gold, Who filled their houses [with] silver; |
16
|
Or [why] was I not hidden like a stillborn child, Like infants who never saw light? |
17
|
There the wicked cease [from] troubling, And there the weary are at rest. |
18
|
[There] the prisoners rest together; They do not hear the voice of the oppressor. |
19
|
The small and great are there, And the servant [is] free from his master. |
20
|
"Why is light given to him who is in misery, And life to the bitter of soul, |
21
|
Who long for death, but it does not [come,] And search for it more than hidden treasures; |
22
|
Who rejoice exceedingly, [And] are glad when they can find the grave? |
23
|
[Why is light given] to a man whose way is hidden, And whom God has hedged in? |
24
|
For my sighing comes before I eat, And my groanings pour out like water. |
25
|
For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me. |
26
|
I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, for trouble comes." |
