  • Job 3:3-9 : 3 Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night that said, 'A man is conceived.' 4 May that day be darkness; may God above not seek it, nor let light shine upon it. 5 Let darkness and deep shadow claim it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let blackness of the day terrify it. 6 As for that night, let thick darkness seize it; let it not be joined to 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 voice enter it. 8 Let those who curse the day curse it, those who are skilled to rouse Leviathan. 9 Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light but have none, nor see the eyelids of the morning. 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 at birth, come out from the womb and expire? 12 Why were there knees to receive me, or breasts that I should nurse? 13 For now I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept, then I would be at rest. 14 With kings and counselors of the earth who built ruins for themselves. 15 Or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver. 16 Or why was I not like a stillborn child, like infants who never saw the light? 17 There the wicked cease from turmoil, and there the weary are at rest. 18 Together the prisoners are at ease; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. 19 The small and the great are there, and the servant is free from his masters. 20 Why is light given to those in misery, and life to the bitter in soul? 21 To those who long for death, but it does not come, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures. 22 Who rejoice exceedingly and are glad when they find the grave. 23 To a man whose path is hidden, and whom God has hedged in? 24 For my sighing comes before my food, and my groanings pour out like water. 25 For the thing I dread comes upon me, and what I fear befalls me. 26 I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, but turmoil comes.
