  • Job 3:3-9 : 3 Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a male child conceived. 4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, nor let the light shine upon it. 5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let blackness of the day terrify it. 6 As for that night, let darkness seize it; let it not be included 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 shout come in it. 8 Let those curse it who curse the day, who are ready to stir up their lamentation. 9 Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it look for light, but have none; nor let it see the breaking of dawn: 10 Because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb, nor hide sorrow from my eyes. 11 Why did I not die from the womb? Why did I not expire when I came out of the belly? 12 Why were there knees to receive me? Or why breasts that I should nurse? 13 For now I would have lain still and been quiet, I would have slept: then I would have been 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 as a hidden untimely birth I would not have existed; like infants who never saw light. 17 There the wicked cease from troubling; there the weary are at rest. 18 There the prisoners rest together; they do not hear 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 who is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul; 21 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 can find the grave? 23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, and whom God has hedged in? 24 For my sighing comes before I eat, and my groanings are poured out like water. 25 For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, and what I dreaded has happened to me. 26 I was not in safety, nor had I rest, nor was I quiet; yet trouble came.
