Job 3 Verses
1
|
At last Job spoke, and he cursed the day of his birth. |
3
|
"Let the day of my birth be erased, and the night I was conceived. |
4
|
Let that day be turned to darkness. Let it be lost even to God on high, and let no light shine on it. |
5
|
Let the darkness and utter gloom claim that day for its own. Let a black cloud overshadow it, and let the darkness terrify it. |
6
|
Let that night be blotted off the calendar, never again to be counted among the days of the year, never again to appear among the months. |
7
|
Let that night be childless. Let it have no joy. |
8
|
Let those who are experts at cursing-- whose cursing could rouse Leviathan-- curse that day. |
9
|
Let its morning stars remain dark. Let it hope for light, but in vain; may it never see the morning light. |
10
|
Curse that day for failing to shut my mother's womb, for letting me be born to see all this trouble. |
11
|
"Why wasn't I born dead? Why didn't I die as I came from the womb? |
12
|
Why was I laid on my mother's lap? Why did she nurse me at her breasts? |
13
|
Had I died at birth, I would now be at peace. I would be asleep and at rest. |
14
|
I would rest with the world's kings and prime ministers, whose great buildings now lie in ruins. |
15
|
I would rest with princes, rich in gold, whose palaces were filled with silver. |
16
|
Why wasn't I buried like a stillborn child, like a baby who never lives to see the light? |
17
|
For in death the wicked cause no trouble, and the weary are at rest. |
18
|
Even captives are at ease in death, with no guards to curse them. |
19
|
Rich and poor are both there, and the slave is free from his master. |
20
|
"Oh, why give light to those in misery, and life to those who are bitter? |
21
|
They long for death, and it won't come. They search for death more eagerly than for hidden treasure. |
22
|
They're filled with joy when they finally die, and rejoice when they find the grave. |
23
|
Why is life given to those with no future, those God has surrounded with difficulties? |
24
|
I cannot eat for sighing; my groans pour out like water. |
25
|
What I always feared has happened to me. What I dreaded has come true. |
26
|
I have no peace, no quietness. I have no rest; only trouble comes." |
