| 3:1 | After <0310> this opened <06605> (8804) Job <0347> his mouth <06310>, and cursed <07043> (8762) his day <03117>. |
| 3:2 | And Job <0347> spake <06030> (8799), and said <0559> (8799), {spake: Heb. answered} |
| 3:3 | Let the day <03117> perish <06> (8799) wherein I was born <03205> (8735), and the night <03915> [in which] it was said <0559> (8804), There is a man child <01397> conceived <02029> (8795). |
| 3:4 | Let that day <03117> be darkness <02822>; let not God <0433> regard <01875> (8799) it from above <04605>, neither let the light <05105> shine <03313> (8686) upon it. |
| 3:5 | Let darkness <02822> and the shadow of death <06757> stain <01350> (8799) it; let a cloud <06053> dwell <07931> (8799) upon it; let the blackness <03650> of the day <03117> terrify <01204> (8762) it. {stain: or, challenge} {let the...: or, let them terrify it, as those who have a bitter day} |
| 3:6 | As [for] that night <03915>, let darkness <0652> seize <03947> (8799) upon it; let it not be joined <02302> (8799) unto the days <03117> of the year <08141>, let it not come <0935> (8799) into the number <04557> of the months <03391>. {let it not be...: or, let it not rejoice among the days} |
| 3:7 | Lo, let that night <03915> be solitary <01565>, let no joyful voice <07445> come <0935> (8799) therein. |
| 3:8 | Let them curse <05344> (8799) it that curse <0779> (8802) the day <03117>, who are ready <06264> to raise up <05782> (8788) their mourning <03882>. {their...: or, leviathan} |
| 3:9 | Let the stars <03556> of the twilight <05399> thereof be dark <02821> (8799); let it look <06960> (8762) for light <0216>, but [have] none; neither let it see <07200> (8799) the dawning <06079> of the day <07837>: {the dawning...: Heb. the eyelids of the morning} |
| 3:10 | Because it shut not up <05462> (8804) the doors <01817> of my [mother's] womb <0990>, nor hid <05641> (8686) sorrow <05999> from mine eyes <05869>. |
| 3:11 | Why died <04191> (8799) I not from the womb <07358>? [why] did I [not] give up the ghost <01478> (8799) when I came out <03318> (8804) of the belly <0990>? |
| 3:12 | Why did the knees <01290> prevent <06923> (8765) me? or why the breasts <07699> that I should suck <03243> (8799)? |
| 3:13 | For now should I have lain still <07901> (8804) and been quiet <08252> (8799), I should have slept <03462> (8804): then had I been at rest <05117> (8799), |
| 3:14 | With kings <04428> and counsellors <03289> (8802) of the earth <0776>, which built <01129> (8802) desolate places <02723> for themselves; |
| 3:15 | Or with princes <08269> that had gold <02091>, who filled <04390> (8764) their houses <01004> with silver <03701>: |
| 3:16 | Or as an hidden <02934> (8803) untimely birth <05309> I had not been; as infants <05768> [which] never saw <07200> (8804) light <0216>. |
| 3:17 | There the wicked <07563> cease <02308> (8804) [from] troubling <07267>; and there the weary <03019> <03581> be at rest <05117> (8799). {weary: Heb. wearied in strength} |
| 3:18 | [There] the prisoners <0615> rest <07599> (8768) together <03162>; they hear <08085> (8804) not the voice <06963> of the oppressor <05065> (8802). |
| 3:19 | The small <06996> and great <01419> are there; and the servant <05650> [is] free <02670> from his master <0113>. |
| 3:20 | Wherefore is light <0216> given <05414> (8799) to him that is in misery <06001>, and life <02416> unto the bitter <04751> [in] soul <05315>; |
| 3:21 | Which long <02442> (8764) for death <04194>, but it [cometh] not; and dig <02658> (8799) for it more than for hid treasures <04301>; {long: Heb. wait} |
| 3:22 | Which rejoice <08056> exceedingly <01524>, [and] are glad <07797> (8799), when they can find <04672> (8799) the grave <06913>? |
| 3:23 | [Why is light given] to a man <01397> whose way <01870> is hid <05641> (8738), and whom God <0433> hath hedged in <05526> (8686)? |
| 3:24 | For my sighing <0585> cometh <0935> (8799) before <06440> I eat <03899>, and my roarings <07581> are poured out <05413> (8799) like the waters <04325>. {I eat: Heb. my meat} |
| 3:25 | For the thing which I greatly <06343> feared <06342> (8804) is come <0857> (8799) upon me, and that which I was afraid <03025> (8804) of is come <0935> (8799) unto me. {the thing...: Heb. I feared a fear, and it came upon me} |
| 3:26 | I was not in safety <07951> (8804), neither had I rest <08252> (8804), neither was I quiet <05117> (8804); yet trouble <07267> came <0935> (8799). |
