1
After
this
opened
Job
his
mouth,
and
cursed
his
day.
2
And
Job
spake
,
[a]
and
said
,
3
Let the
day
perish
wherein I was
born
, and the
night
in which it was
said
, There is a man
child
conceived
.
4
Let that
day
be
darkness;
let not
God
regard
it from
above,
neither let the
light
shine
upon it.
5
Let
darkness
and the shadow of
death
stain
[b]
it; let a
cloud
dwell
upon it; let the
blackness
of the
day
terrify
it.
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.
7
Lo, let that
night
be
solitary,
let no joyful
voice
come
therein.
8
Let them
curse
it that
curse
the
day,
who are
ready
to raise
up
their
mourning.
9
Let the
stars
of the
twilight
thereof be
dark
; let it
look
for
light,
but have none; neither let it
see
the
dawning
[c]
of the
day:
10
Because it shut not
up
the
doors
of my mother's
womb,
nor
hid
sorrow
from mine
eyes.
11
Why
died
I not from the
womb?
why did I not give up the
ghost
when I came
out
of the
belly?
12
Why did the
knees
prevent
me? or why the
breasts
that I should
suck
?
13
For now should I have lain
still
and been
quiet
, I should have
slept
: then had I been at
rest
,
14
With
kings
and
counsellors
of the
earth,
which
built
desolate
places
for themselves;
15
Or with
princes
that had
gold,
who
filled
their
houses
with
silver:
16
Or as an
hidden
untimely
birth
I had not been; as
infants
which never
saw
light.
17
There the
wicked
cease
from
troubling;
and there the
weary
[d]
be
at
rest
.
18
There the
prisoners
rest
together;
they
hear
not the
voice
of the
oppressor
.
19
The
small
and
great
are there; and the
servant
is
free
from his
master.
20
Wherefore is
light
given
to him that is in
misery,
and
life
unto the
bitter
in
soul;
21
Which
long
[e]
for
death,
but it cometh not; and
dig
for it more than for hid
treasures;
22
Which
rejoice
exceedingly,
and are
glad
, when they can
find
the
grave?
23
Why is light given to a
man
whose
way
is
hid
, and whom
God
hath hedged
in
?
24
For my
sighing
cometh
before
I
eat,
[f]
and my
roarings
are poured
out
like the
waters.
25
For the thing which I
greatly
feared
is
come
upon me, and that which I was
afraid
of is
come
unto me.
26
I was not in
safety
, neither had I
rest
, neither was I
quiet
; yet
trouble
came
.
