  3:1 ¶
After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day, |
|
3:1 ¶
After°
this°
opened°°
Job°°
his mouth,°
and cursed°°°
his day.° |
|
3:2
saying, |
|
3:2
And Job°
spake,°°
and said,°° |
|
3:3
Let the day perish in which I was born, and that night in which they said, Behold a man-child! |
|
3:3
Let the day°
perish°°
wherein I was born,°°
and the night°
[in which] it was said,°°
There is a man child°
conceived.°° |
|
3:4
Let that night be darkness, and let not the Lord regard it from above, neither let light come upon it. |
|
3:4
Let that°
day°
be°
darkness;°
let not°
Eloah°
regard°°
it from above,°°
neither°
let the light°
shine°°
upon°
it. |
|
3:5
But let darkness and the shadow of death seize it; let blackness come upon it; |
|
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. |
|
3:6
let that day and night be cursed, let darkness carry them away; let it not come into the days of the year, neither let it be numbered with the days of the months. |
|
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.° |
|
3:7
But let that night be pain, and let not mirth come upon it, nor joy. |
|
3:7
Lo,°
let that°
night°
be°
solitary,°
let no°
joyful voice°
come°°
therein. |
|
3:8
But let him that curses that day curse it, [even] he that is ready to attack the great whale. |
|
3:8
Let them curse°°
it that curse°°
the day,°
who are ready°
to raise up°°
their mourning.° |
|
3:9
Let the stars of that night be darkened; let it remain [dark], and not come into light; and let it not see the morning star arise: |
|
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:° |
|
3:10
because it shut not up the gates of my mother's womb, for [so] it would have removed sorrow from my eyes. |
|
3:10
Because°
it shut not up°°°
the doors°
of my [mother's] womb,°
nor hid°°
sorrow°
from mine eyes.°° |
|
3:11
For why died I not in the belly? and [why] did I not come forth from the womb and die immediately? |
|
3:11
Why°
died°°
I not°
from the womb?°°
[why] did I [not] give up the ghost°°
when I came out°°
of the belly?°° |
|
3:12
and why did the knees support me? and why did I suck the breasts? |
|
3:12
Why°
did the knees°
prevent°°
me? or why°
the breasts°
that°
I should suck?°° |
|
3:13
Now I should have lain down and been quiet, I should have slept and been at rest, |
|
3:13
For°
now°
should I have lain still°°
and been quiet,°°
I should have slept:°°
then°
had I been at rest,°° |
|
3:14
with kings [and] councillors of the earth, who gloried in [their] swords; |
|
3:14
With°
kings°
and counsellors°°
of the earth,°
which built°°
desolate places°
for themselves; |
|
3:15
or with rulers, whose gold was abundant, who filled their houses with silver: |
|
3:15
Or°
with°
princes°
that had gold,°
who filled°°
their houses°
with silver:° |
|
3:16
or [I should have been] as an untimely birth proceeding from his mother's womb, or as infants who never saw light. |
|
3:16
Or°
as an hidden°°
untimely birth°
I had not°
been;°
as infants°
[which] never°
saw°°
light.° |
|
3:17
There the ungodly have burnt out the fury of rage; there the wearied in body rest. |
|
3:17
There°
the wicked°
cease°°
[from] troubling;°
and there°
the weary°°
be at rest.°° |
|
3:18
And the men of old time have together ceased to hear the exactor's voice. |
|
3:18
[There] the prisoners°
rest°°
together;°
they hear°°
not°
the voice°
of the oppressor.°° |
|
3:19
The small and great are there, and the servant that feared his lord. |
|
3:19
The small°
and great°
are there;°
and the servant°
[is] free°
from his adon.°° |
|
3:20
For why is light given to those who are in bitterness, and life to those souls which are in griefs? |
|
3:20
Wherefore°
is light°
given°°
to him that is in misery,°
and life°
unto the bitter°
[in] soul;° |
|
3:21
who desire death, and obtain it not, digging [for it] as [for] treasures; |
|
3:21
Which long°°
for death,°
but it [cometh] not;°
and dig°°
for it more than for hid treasures;°° |
|
3:22
and would be very joyful if they should gain it? |
|
3:22
Which rejoice°
exceedingly,°°
[and] are glad,°°
when°
they can find°°
the grave?° |
|
3:23
Death [is] rest to [such] a man, for God has hedged him in. |
|
3:23
[Why is light given] to a man°
whose°
way°
is hid,°°
and whom°
Eloah°
hath hedged in?°° |
|
3:24
For my groaning comes before my food, and I weep being beset with terror. |
|
3:24
For°
my sighing°
cometh°°
before°
I eat,°
and my roarings°
are poured out°°
like the waters.° |
|
3:25
For the terror of which I meditated has come upon me, and that which I had feared has befallen me. |
|
3:25
For°
the thing which I greatly°
feared°°°
is come°°
upon°
me, and that which°
I was afraid°°
of°
is come°°
unto me. |
|
3:26
I was not at peace, nor quiet, nor had I rest; yet wrath came upon me. |
|
3:26
I was not°
in safety,°°
neither°
had I rest,°°
neither°
was I quiet;°°
yet trouble°
came.°° |
