Job:3:1-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
After this opened Job his mouth ,
and cursed his day .
*
And Job spake ,
and said ,
*
Let the day perish wherein I was born ,
and the night in which it was said ,
There is a man child conceived .
*
Let that day be darkness ;
let not God regard it from above ,
neither let the light shine upon it .
*
Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it ;
let a cloud dwell upon it ;
let the blackness of the day terrify it .
*
As for that night ,
let darkness seize upon it ;
let it not be joined unto the days of the year ,
let it not come into the number of the months .
*
Lo ,
let that night be solitary ,
let no joyful voice come therein .
*
Let them curse it that curse the day ,
who are ready to raise up their mourning .
*
Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark ;
let it look for light ,
but have none ;
neither let it see the dawning of the day :
*
Because it shut not up the doors of my mother '
s womb ,
nor hid sorrow from mine eyes .
*
Why died I not from the womb ?
why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly ?
*
Why did the knees prevent me ?
or why the breasts that I should suck ?
*
For now should I have lain still and been quiet ,
I should have slept :
then had I been at rest ,
