Job 3




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

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

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

dby@Job:3:4 @ That day -- let it be darkness, let not +God care for it from above, neither let light shine upon it:

dby@Job:3:5 @ Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it; let clouds dwell upon it; let darkeners of the day terrify it.

dby@Job:3:6 @ That night -- let gloom seize upon it; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.

dby@Job:3:7 @ Behold, let that night be barren; let no joyful sound come therein;

dby@Job:3:8 @ Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse Leviathan;

dby@Job:3:9 @ Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it wait for light, and have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the dawn:

dby@Job:3:10 @ Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, and hid not trouble from mine eyes.

dby@Job:3:11 @ Wherefore did I not die from the womb, -- come forth from the belly and expire?

dby@Job:3:12 @ Why did the knees meet me? and wherefore the breasts, that I should suck?

dby@Job:3:13 @ For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

dby@Job:3:14 @ With kings and counsellors of the earth, who build desolate places for themselves,

dby@Job:3:15 @ Or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;

dby@Job:3:16 @ Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that have not seen the light.

dby@Job:3:17 @ There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the wearied are at rest.

dby@Job:3:18 @ The prisoners together are at ease; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.

dby@Job:3:19 @ The small and great are there, and the bondman freed from his master.

dby@Job:3:20 @ Wherefore is light given to him that is in trouble, and life to those bitter of soul,

dby@Job:3:21 @ Who long for death, and it [cometh] not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures;

dby@Job:3:22 @ Who rejoice even exultingly and are glad when they find the grave? --

dby@Job:3:23 @ To the man whose way is hidden, and whom +God hath hedged in?

dby@Job:3:24 @ For my sighing cometh before my bread, and my groanings are poured out like the waters.

dby@Job:3:25 @ For I feared a fear, and it hath come upon me, and that which I dreaded hath come to me.

dby@Job:3:26 @ I was not in safety, neither had I quietness, neither was I at rest, and trouble came.
