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