rotherham@Job:3:1 @ After this, opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
rotherham@Job:3:2 @ So then Job began, and said:
rotherham@Job:3:3 @ Perish, the day wherein I was born, and the night it was said, Lo! a manchild!
rotherham@Job:3:4 @ That day, be it darkness, Let not God enquire after it from above, May there shine upon it no clear beam:
rotherham@Job:3:5 @ Let darkness and death-shade buy it back, May there settle down upon it a cloud, Let a days dark eclipse cause it terror:
rotherham@Job:3:6 @ That night, darkness take it, May it not rejoice among the days of the year, Into the number of months, let it not enter.
rotherham@Job:3:7 @ Lo! that night, be it barren, Let no joyous shouting enter therein:
rotherham@Job:3:8 @ Let day-cursers denounce it, Those skilled in rousing the dragon of the sky:
rotherham@Job:3:9 @ Darkened be the stars of its twilight, Let it wait for light, and there be none, neither let it see the eyelashes of the dawn:
rotherham@Job:3:10 @ Because it closed not the doors of the womb wherein I was, and so hid trouble from mine eyes.
rotherham@Job:3:11 @ Wherefore, in the womb, did I not die? From the womb, come forth and cease to breathe?
rotherham@Job:3:12 @ For what reason, were there prepared for meknees? and whybreasts, that I might suck?
rotherham@Job:3:13 @ Surely, at once, had I lain down, and been quiet, I had fallen asleep, then, had I been at rest:
rotherham@Job:3:14 @ With kings, and counselors of the earth, who had built them pyramids:
rotherham@Job:3:15 @ Or with rulers possessing, gold, Who had filled their houses with silver:
rotherham@Job:3:16 @ Or that, like an untimely birth hidden away, I had not come into being, like infants that never saw light:
rotherham@Job:3:17 @ There, the lawless, cease from raging, and there the toil-worn are at rest:
rotherham@Job:3:18 @ At once are prisoners at peace, they hear not the voice of a driver:
rotherham@Job:3:19 @ Small and great, there, they are, and, the slave, is free from his master.
rotherham@Job:3:20 @ Wherefore give, to the wretched, light? Or, life, to the embittered in soul?
rotherham@Job:3:21 @ Who long for death, and it is not, And have digged for it, beyond hid treasures:
rotherham@Job:3:22 @ Who rejoice unto exultation, Are glad, when they can find the grave:
rotherham@Job:3:23 @ To a man, whose way is concealed, And GOD hath straitly enclosed him?
rotherham@Job:3:24 @ For, in the face of my food, my sighing, cometh in, and, poured out like the water, are my groans:
rotherham@Job:3:25 @ For, a dread, I dreaded, and it hath come upon me, and, that from which I shrank, hath overtaken me.
rotherham@Job:3:26 @ I was not careless, nor was I secure, nor had I settled down, when there cameconsternation!
