(Job 3:1) After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
(Job 3:2) And Job spake, and said,
(Job 3:3) Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night {in which} it was said, There is a man child conceived.
(Job 3:4) Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
(Job 3:5) Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
(Job 3:6) {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.
(Job 3:7) Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
(Job 3:8) Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
(Job 3:9) 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:
(Job 3:10) Because it shut not up the doors of my {mother's} womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
(Job 3:11) Why died I not from the womb? {why} did I {not} give up the Ghost when I came out of the belly?
(Job 3:12) Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
(Job 3:13) For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
(Job 3:14) With kings and counsellers of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;
(Job 3:15) Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
(Job 3:16) Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants {which} never saw light.
(Job 3:17) There the wicked cease {from} troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
(Job 3:18) {There} the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
(Job 3:19) The small and great are there; and the servant {is} free from his master.
(Job 3:20) Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter {in} soul;
(Job 3:21) Which long for death, but it {cometh} not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
(Job 3:22) Which rejoice exceedingly, {and} are glad, when they can find the grave?
(Job 3:23) {Why is light given} to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
(Job 3:24) For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
(Job 3:25) For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
(Job 3:26) I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
