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

mkjv@Job:3:2 @ And Job spoke and said,

mkjv@Job:3:3 @ Let the day perish in [which] I was born, and the night [which] said, A man-child is conceived.

mkjv@Job:3:4 @ Let that day be darkness. Let not God look upon it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

mkjv@Job:3:5 @ Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it. Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let the blackness of the day terrify it.

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

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

mkjv@Job:3:8 @ Let those curse it who curse the day, who are ready to stir up Leviathan.

mkjv@Job:3:9 @ Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it look for light, but have none. Let it not see the eyelids of the dawn.

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

mkjv@Job:3:11 @ Why did I not die from the womb, come from the womb and expire?

mkjv@Job:3:12 @ Why did the knees go before me; or why the breasts, that I should suck?

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

mkjv@Job:3:14 @ with kings and wise men of the earth, who built ruins for themselves,

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

mkjv@Job:3:16 @ or as a hidden untimely birth I would not have been, like infants who did not see light.

mkjv@Job:3:17 @ There the wicked cease [from] troubling, and there the weary are at rest;

mkjv@Job:3:18 @ the prisoners are at rest together; they hear not the voice of the slave driver.

mkjv@Job:3:19 @ The small and the great are there, and the slave [is] free from his master.

mkjv@Job:3:20 @ Why is light given to one who is in misery, and life to the bitter [in] soul,

mkjv@Job:3:21 @ who is waiting for death, but [it] comes not; and dig for it more than [for] treasures?

mkjv@Job:3:22 @ They are rejoicing to exultation. They are glad when they can find the grave.

mkjv@Job:3:23 @ To a man whose way is hidden, God has made a hedge about him.

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

mkjv@Job:3:25 @ For the thing which I greatly feared has come upon me, and that which I was afraid of has come to me.

mkjv@Job:3:26 @ I was not in safety, nor did I have rest, nor was I quiet; yet trouble comes.
