Job 3

1 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed his day.DBY — Job 3:1

2 And Job answered and said,DBY — Job 3:2

3 Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night that said, There is a man child conceived.DBY — Job 3:3

4 That day let it be darkness, let not God care for it from above, neither let light shine upon it:DBY — Job 3:4

5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it; let clouds dwell upon it; let darkeners of the day terrify it.DBY — Job 3:5

6 That night let gloom seize upon it; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.DBY — Job 3:6

7 Behold, let that night be barren; let no joyful sound come therein;DBY — Job 3:7

8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse Leviathan;DBY — Job 3:8

9 Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it wait for light, and have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the dawn:DBY — Job 3:9

10 Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, and hid not trouble from mine eyes.DBY — Job 3:10

11 Wherefore did I not die from the womb, come forth from the belly and expire?DBY — Job 3:11

12 Why did the knees meet me? and wherefore the breasts, that I should suck?DBY — Job 3:12

13 For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept: then had I been at rest,DBY — Job 3:13

14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, who build desolate places for themselves,DBY — Job 3:14

15 Or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;DBY — Job 3:15

16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that have not seen the light.DBY — Job 3:16

17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the wearied are at rest.DBY — Job 3:17

18 The prisoners together are at ease; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.DBY — Job 3:18

19 The small and great are there, and the bondman freed from his master.DBY — Job 3:19

20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in trouble, and life to those bitter of soul,DBY — Job 3:20

21 Who long for death, and it [cometh] not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures;DBY — Job 3:21

22 Who rejoice even exultingly and are glad when they find the grave?DBY — Job 3:22

23 To the man whose way is hidden, and whom God hath hedged in?DBY — Job 3:23

24 For my sighing cometh before my bread, and my groanings are poured out like the waters.DBY — Job 3:24

25 For I feared a fear, and it hath come upon me, and that which I dreaded hath come to me.DBY — Job 3:25

26 I was not in safety, neither had I quietness, neither was I at rest, and trouble came.DBY — Job 3:26
