acv@Job:3:1 @ After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day.

acv@Job:3:2 @ And Job answered and said,

acv@Job:3:3 @ Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night which said, There is a man-child conceived.

acv@Job:3:4 @ Let that day be darkness. Let not God from above seek for it, nor let the light shine upon it.

acv@Job:3:5 @ Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell upon it. Let blackness come upon it.

acv@Job:3:6 @ As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.

acv@Job:3:7 @ Lo, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come in it.

acv@Job:3:8 @ Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.

acv@Job:3:9 @ Let the stars of the twilight of it be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, nor let it behold the eyelids of the morning.

acv@Job:3:10 @ Because it did not shut up the doors of my [mother's] womb, nor hide trouble from my eyes.

acv@Job:3:11 @ Why did I not die from the womb? Why did I not give up the spirit when my mother bore me?

acv@Job:3:12 @ Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should suck?

acv@Job:3:13 @ For now I should have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept. Then I would have been at rest

acv@Job:3:14 @ with kings and counselors of the earth, who built waste places for themselves,

acv@Job:3:15 @ or with rulers who had gold, who filled their houses with silver.

acv@Job:3:16 @ Or I should have been as a hidden untimely birth, as infants that never saw light.

acv@Job:3:17 @ There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest.

acv@Job:3:18 @ There the prisoners are at ease together. They do not hear the voice of the taskmaster.

acv@Job:3:19 @ The small and the great are there. And the servant is free from his master.

acv@Job:3:20 @ Why is light given to him who is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul,

acv@Job:3:21 @ who long for death, but it comes not, and dig for it more than for hid treasures,

acv@Job:3:22 @ who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad when they can find the grave?

acv@Job:3:23 @ [Why is light given] to a man whose way is hid, and whom God has hedged in?

acv@Job:3:24 @ For my sighing comes before I eat, and my groanings are poured out like water.

acv@Job:3:25 @ For the thing which I fear comes upon me, and that which I am afraid of comes to me.

acv@Job:3:26 @ I am not at ease, nor am I quiet, neither have I rest, but trouble comes.
