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