Job 3




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

updv@Job:3:2 @ And Job answered and said:

updv@Job:3:3 @ Let the day perish in which I was born, And the night which said, A [noble] man was conceived.

updv@Job:3:4 @ Let that day be darkness; Don't let God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine on it.

updv@Job:3:5 @ Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud stay on it; Let all that makes blackness of day terrify it.

updv@Job:3:6 @ As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it: Don't let it rejoice among the days of the year; Don't let it come into the number of the months.

updv@Job:3:7 @ Look, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come in it.

updv@Job:3:8 @ Let them curse it that curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.

updv@Job:3:9 @ Let the stars of its twilight be dark: Let it look for light, but have none; Neither let it see the eyelids of the morning:

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

updv@Job:3:11 @ Why didn't I die from the womb? Why didn't I give up the ghost when my mother bore me?

updv@Job:3:12 @ Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should be nursed?

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

updv@Job:3:14 @ With kings and counselors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;

updv@Job:3:15 @ Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:

updv@Job:3:16 @ Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light.

updv@Job:3:17 @ There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary are at rest.

updv@Job:3:18 @ There the prisoners are at ease together; They don't hear the voice of the taskmaster.

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

updv@Job:3:20 @ Why is light given to him who is in misery, And life to the bitter in soul?

updv@Job:3:21 @ Who long for death, but it does not come, And dig for it more than for hid treasures;

updv@Job:3:22 @ Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad, when they can find the grave

updv@Job:3:23 @ To a [noble] man whose way is hid, And whom God has hedged in.

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

updv@Job:3:25 @ For the thing which I fear comes on me, And that which I am afraid of comes to me.

updv@Job:3:26 @ I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble comes.
