1After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.studyinterlinear
2And Job spake, and said,studyinterlinear
3Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.studyinterlinear
4Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.studyinterlinear
5Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.studyinterlinear
6As 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.studyinterlinear
7Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.studyinterlinear
8Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.studyinterlinear
9Let 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:studyinterlinear
10Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.studyinterlinear
11Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?studyinterlinear
12Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?studyinterlinear
13For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,studyinterlinear
14With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;studyinterlinear
15Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:studyinterlinear
16Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.studyinterlinear
17There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.studyinterlinear
18There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.studyinterlinear
19The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.studyinterlinear
20Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;studyinterlinear
21Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;studyinterlinear
22Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?studyinterlinear
23Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?studyinterlinear
24For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.studyinterlinear
25For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.studyinterlinear
26I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.studyinterlinear
