* 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 ma #al #, 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 #aph #aph # of the day : * Because it shut not up the doors of my mothers 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 , * With kings and counsellors of the earth , which built desolate places for themselves ; * Or with princes that had gold , who filled their houses with silver : * Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been ; as infants which never saw light . * There the wicked cease from troubling ; and there the weary yagiya # be at rest . * There the prisoners rest together ; they hear not the voice of the oppressor . * The small and great are there ; and the servant is free from his master . * Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery , and life unto the bitter in soul ; * Which long for death , but it cometh not ; and dig for it more than for hid treasures ; * Which rejoice exceedingly , and are glad , when they can find the grave ? * Why is light given to a man whose way is hid , and whom God hath hedged in ? * For my sighing cometh before I eat , and my roarings are poured out like the waters . * For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me , and that which I was afraid of is come unto me . * I was not in safety , neither had I rest , neither was I quiet ; yet trouble came .
