| The Book of Job 3 | ||||||||||||||||
| The World English Online Bible (WLD) | ||||||||||||||||
| Job 3:1 | After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:2 | Job answered: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:3 | "Let the day perish in which I was born, The night which said, 'There is a man-child conceived.' | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:4 | Let that day be darkness; Don't let God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine on it. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:5 | Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes black the day terrify it. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:6 | As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:7 | Behold, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:8 | Let them curse it who curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:9 | Let the stars of the twilight of it be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, Neither let it see the eyelids of the morning, | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:10 | Because it didn't shut up the doors of my mother's womb, Nor did it hide trouble from my eyes. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:11 | "Why didn't I die from the womb? Why didn't I give up the spirit when my mother bore me? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:12 | Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should suck? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:13 | For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest, | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:14 | With kings and counselors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:15 | Or with princes who had gold, Who filled their houses with silver: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:16 | Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants who never saw light. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:17 | There the wicked cease from troubling; There the weary are at rest. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:18 | There the prisoners are at ease together. They don't hear the voice of the taskmaster. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:19 | The small and the great are there. The servant is free from his master. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:20 | "Why is light given to him who is in misery, Life to the bitter in soul, | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:21 | Who long for death, but it doesn't come; Dig for it more than for hidden treasures, | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:22 | Who rejoice exceedingly, Are glad, when they can find the grave? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:23 | Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, Whom God has hedged in? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:24 | For my sighing comes before I eat, My groanings are poured out like water. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:25 | For the thing which I fear comes on me, That which I am afraid of comes to me. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 3:26 | I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble comes." | |||||||||||||||
