Chapter 3

¹ After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day,
² and he said:
³ Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said: A man child is conceived.
⁴ Let that day be turned into darkness, let not God regard it from above, and let not the light shine upon it.
⁵ Let darkness, and the shadow of death cover it, let a mist overspread it, and let it be wrapped up in bitterness.
⁶ Let a darksome whirlwind seize upon that night, let it not be counted in the days of the year, nor numbered in the months.
⁷ Let that night be solitary, and not worthy of praise.
⁸ Let them curse it who curse the day. who are ready to raise up a leviathan:
⁹ Let the stars be darkened with the mist thereof: let it expect light and not see it, nor the rising of the dawning of the day:
¹⁰ Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, nor took away evils from my eyes.
¹¹ Why did I not die in the womb, why did I not perish when I came out of the belly?
¹² Why received upon the knees? why suckled at the breasts ?
¹³ For now I should have been asleep and still, and should have rest in my sleep.
¹⁴ With kings and consuls of the earth, who build themselves solitudes:
¹⁵ Or with princes, that possess gold, and All their houses with silver:
¹⁶ Or as a hidden untimely birth I should not be, or as they that being conceived have not seen the light.
¹⁷ There the wicked cease from tumult, and there the wearied in strength are at rest.
¹⁸ And they sometime bound together without disquiet, have not heard the voice of the oppressor.
¹⁹ The small and great are there, and the servant is free from his master.
²⁰ Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to them that are in bitterness of soul?
²¹ That look for death, and it cometh not, as they that dig for a treasure:
²² And they rejoice exceedingly when they have found the grave.
²³ To a man whose way is hidden, and God hath surrounded him with darkness?
²⁴ Before I eat I sigh: and as overflowing waters, so is my roaring:
²⁵ For the fear which I feared hath come upon me: and that which I was afraid of, hath befallen me.
²⁶ Have I not dissembled ? have I not kept silence ? have I not been quiet? and indignation is come upon me.

Chapter 3

¹ After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day.
² And Job spoke, and said,
³ Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a mail child conceived.
⁴ Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
⁵ Let darkness and the shades of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
⁶ As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined to the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
⁷ Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
⁸ Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
⁹ Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
¹⁰ Because it prevented not my birth, nor hid sorrow from my eyes.
¹¹ Why died I not from the womb? why did I not expire at the time of my birth?
¹² Why did the knees receive me? or why the breasts that I should be nursed?
¹³ For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
¹⁴ With kings and counselors of the earth, who built desolate places for themselves;
¹⁵ Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
¹⁶ Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw 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 great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
²⁰ Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul;
²¹ Who long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
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, and whom God hath hedged in?
²⁴ For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
²⁵ For the thing which I greatly feared hath come upon me, and that which I dreaded hath come to me.
²⁶ I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

¹ this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth.
² answered:
³ the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, 'There is a boy conceived.'
⁴ that day be darkness. Don't let God from above seek for it, neither let the light shine on it.
⁵ 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.

⁸ them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
⁹ the stars of its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,
¹⁰ it didn't shut up the doors of my mother's womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
¹¹ didn't I die from the womb? Why didn't I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?
¹² did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should nurse?
¹³ now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,
¹⁴ kings and counselors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves;
¹⁵ with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
¹⁶ as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.
¹⁷ the wicked cease from troubling. There the weary are at rest.

²¹ long for death, but it doesn't come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
²² rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
²³ is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
²⁴ my sighing comes before I eat. My groanings are poured out like water.
²⁵ the thing which I fear comes on me, That which I am afraid of comes to me.
²⁶ am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; but trouble comes."

Chapter 3

¹ After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed his day.
² And Job answered and said,
³ Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night that said, There is a man child conceived.
⁴ That day -- let it be darkness, let not +God care for it from above, neither let light shine upon it:
⁵ Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it; let clouds dwell upon it; let darkeners of the day terrify it.
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.
⁷ Behold, let that night be barren; let no joyful sound come therein;
⁸ Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse Leviathan;
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:
¹⁰ Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, and hid not trouble from mine eyes.
¹¹ Wherefore did I not die from the womb, -- come forth from the belly and expire?
¹² Why did the knees meet me? and wherefore the breasts, that I should suck?
¹³ For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
¹⁴ With kings and counsellors of the earth, who build desolate places for themselves,
¹⁵ Or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;
¹⁶ Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that have not seen the light.
¹⁷ There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the wearied are at rest.
¹⁸ The prisoners together are at ease; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
¹⁹ The small and great are there, and the bondman freed from his master.
²⁰ Wherefore is light given to him that is in trouble, and life to those bitter of soul,
²¹ Who long for death, and it [cometh] not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures;
²² Who rejoice even exultingly and are glad when they find the grave? --
²³ To the man whose way is hidden, and whom +God hath hedged in?
²⁴ For my sighing cometh before my bread, and my groanings are poured out like the waters.
²⁵ For I feared a fear, and it hath come upon me, and that which I dreaded hath come to me.
²⁶ I was not in safety, neither had I quietness, neither was I at rest, and trouble came.

¹ After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
² And Job answered and said:
³ Let the day perish wherein I was born, And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived.
⁴ Let that day be darkness; Let not God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine upon it.
⁵ Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.

⁷ Lo, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come therein.
⁸ Let them curse it that curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
⁹ Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark: Let it look for light, but have none; Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:
¹⁰ Because it shut not up the doors of my [mother's] womb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes.
¹¹ Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?
¹² Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should suck?
¹³ For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,
¹⁴ With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;
¹⁵ Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:
¹⁶ Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light.
¹⁷ There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary are at rest.
¹⁸ There the prisoners are at ease together; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
¹⁹ The small and the great are there: And the servant is free from his master.
²⁰ Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul;
²¹ Who long for death, but it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures;
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, And whom God hath hedged in?
²⁴ For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groanings are poured out like water.
²⁵ For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.
²⁶ I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble cometh.

Chapter 3

¹ Then, opening his mouth, and cursing the day of his birth,
² Job made answer and said,
³ Let destruction take the day of my birth, and the night on which it was said, A man child has come into the world.
⁴ That day--let it be dark; let not God take note of it from on high, and let not the light be shining on it;
⁵ Let the dark and the black night take it for themselves; let it be covered with a cloud; let the dark shades of day send fear on it.
⁶ That night--let the thick dark take it; let it not have joy among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.
⁷ As for that night, let it have no fruit; let no voice of joy be sounded in it;
⁸ Let it be cursed by those who put a curse on the day; who are ready to make Leviathan awake.
⁹ Let its morning stars be dark; let it be looking for light, but may it not have any; let it not see the eyes of the dawn.
¹⁰ Because it did not keep the doors of my mother's body shut, so that trouble might be veiled from my eyes.
¹¹ Why did death not take me when I came out of my mother's body, why did I not, when I came out, give up my last breath?
¹² Why did the knees take me, or why the breasts that they might give me milk?
¹³ For then I might have gone to my rest in quiet, and in sleep have been in peace,
¹⁴ With kings and the wise ones of the earth, who put up great houses for themselves;
¹⁵ Or with rulers who had gold, and whose houses were full of silver;
¹⁶ Or as a child dead at birth I might never have come into existence; like young children who have not seen the light.
¹⁷ There the passions of the evil are over, and those whose strength has come to an end have rest.
¹⁸ There the prisoners are at peace together; the voice of the overseer comes not again to their ears.
¹⁹ The small and the great are there, and the servant is free from his master.
²⁰ Why does he give light to him who is in trouble, and life to the bitter in soul;
²¹ To those whose desire is for death, but it comes not; who are searching for it more than for secret wealth;
²² Who are glad with great joy, and full of delight when they come to their last resting-place;
²³ To a man whose way is veiled, and who is shut in by God?
²⁴ In place of my food I have grief, and cries of sorrow come from me like water.
²⁵ For I have a fear and it comes on me, and my heart is greatly troubled.
²⁶ I have no peace, no quiet, and no rest; nothing but pain comes on me.
