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 counsellors 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. |
