| JobChapter 3 | 
| 1 AFTER this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day wherein he was born. | 
| 2 Then Job spoke and said, | 
| 3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, A male child is conceived. | 
| 4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. | 
| 5 Let the darkness and the shadow of death cover it; let a cloud overshadow it; let those whose days are bitter be terrified by it. | 
| 6 As for that night, let thick darkness cover it; let that day not be reckoned in the number of the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months. | 
| 7 Lo, let that night be desolate, let no voice of praise come therein. | 
| 8 Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to stir up Leviathan. | 
| 9 Let the stars of twilight thereof be dark; let the people wait for light, but receive none; neither let them see the dawning of the day; | 
| 10 Because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb, nor hide trouble from my eyes. | 
| 11 Why did I not die from the womb? Why did I come forth at birth? | 
| 12 Why was I reared at my mother's knee? Why did I suck the breasts? | 
| 13 For now I should have been laid in the grave and been quiet, I should have slept; then I should have been at rest, | 
| 14 With kings and governors of the earth who built desolate places for themselves; | 
| 15 Or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver; | 
| 16 Or like a hidden untimely birth, as if I had not been; like infants that never saw the light. | 
| 17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary are at rest. | 
| 18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. | 
| 19 The small and the great are there; and the servant is free from his master. | 
| 20 Why is light given to him who is in trouble, and life to the bitter in soul, | 
| 21 Who long for death, but it comes not, and seek it as one seeks a hidden treasure; | 
| 22 Who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad when they can find the grave? | 
| 23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, whom God has hedged in? | 
| 24 For my sighing comes before I eat, and my moanings are poured out like water. | 
| 25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of has befallen me. | 
| 26 I am not at ease, neither am I calm, nor am I at rest; and yet misfortune came. |

| 6 As for that night, | 
| 7 See, | 
| 8 Let them curse | 
| 9 Let the stars |

| 11 Why | 
| 12 Why | 
| 13 For now |

| 17 There | 
| 18 There the prisoners | 
| 19 The small | 
| 20 Why | 
| 21 Which long | 
| 22 Which rejoice | 
| 23 Why is light given to a man | 
| 24 For my sighing | 
| 25 For the thing which I greatly feared | 
| 26 I was not in safety, |
