| The Book of Job 3 | ||||||||||||||||
| The Douay-Rheims Version Online Bible (DRV) | ||||||||||||||||
| Job 3:1 | After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day, | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:2 | and he said: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:3 | Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said: A man child is conceived. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:4 | Let that day be turned into darkness, let not God regard it from above, and let not the light shine upon it. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:5 | Let darkness, and the shadow of death cover it, let a mist overspread it, and let it be wrapped up in bitterness. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:6 | Let a darksome whirlwind seize upon that night, let it not be counted in the days of the year, nor numbered in the months. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:7 | Let that night be solitary, and not worthy of praise. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:8 | Let them curse it who curse the day. who are ready to raise up a leviathan: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:9 | Let the stars be darkened with the mist thereof: let it expect light and not see it, nor the rising of the dawning of the day: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:10 | Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, nor took away evils from my eyes. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:11 | Why did I not die in the womb, why did I not perish when I came out of the belly? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:12 | Why received upon the knees? why suckled at the breasts ? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:13 | For now I should have been asleep and still, and should have rest in my sleep. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:14 | With kings and consuls of the earth, who build themselves solitudes: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:15 | Or with princes, that possess gold, and All their houses with silver: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:16 | Or as a hidden untimely birth I should not be, or as they that being conceived have not seen the light. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:17 | There the wicked cease from tumult, and there the wearied in strength are at rest. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:18 | And they sometime bound together without disquiet, have not heard 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 | Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to them that are in bitterness of soul? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:21 | That look for death, and it cometh not, as they that dig for a treasure: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:22 | And they rejoice exceedingly when they have found the grave. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:23 | To a man whose way is hidden, and God hath surrounded him with darkness? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:24 | Before I eat I sigh: and as overflowing waters, so is my roaring: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:25 | For the fear which I feared hath come upon me: and that which I was afraid of, hath befallen me. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:26 | Have I not dissembled ? have I not kept silence ? have I not been quiet? and indignation is come upon me. | |||||||||||||||
