{Job 3:1} After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:2} And Job spake, and said, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:3} Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night [in which] it was said, There is a man child conceived. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:4} Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:5} Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:6} As [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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:7} Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:8} Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:9} Let 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: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:10} Because it shut not up the doors of my [mother’s] womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:11} Why died I not from the womb? [why] did I [not] give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:12} Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:13} For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:14} With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:15} Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:16} Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants [which] never saw light. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:17} There the wicked cease [from] troubling; and there the weary be at rest. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:18} [There] the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:19} The small and great are there; and the servant [is] free from his master. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:20} Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter [in] soul; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:21} Which long for death, but it [cometh] not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:22} Which rejoice exceedingly, [and] are glad, when they can find the grave? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:23} [Why is light given] to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:24} For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:25} For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 3:26} I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
