  3:1 ¶
After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day, |
|
3:1 ¶
Afterº
thisº
openedºº
Jobºº
his mouth,º
and cursedººº
his day.º |
|
3:2
saying, |
3:2
And Jobº
spake,ºº
and said,ºº |
|
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 dayº
perishºº
wherein I was born,ºº
and the nightº
[in which] it was said,ºº
There is a man childº
conceived.ºº |
|
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 thatº
dayº
beº
darkness;º
let notº
Eloahº
regardºº
it from above,ºº
neitherº
let the lightº
shineºº
uponº
it. |
|
3:5
But let darkness and the shadow of death seize it; let blackness come upon it; |
3:5
Let darknessº
and the shadow of deathº
stainºº
it; let a cloudº
dwellºº
uponº
it; let the blacknessº
of the dayº
terrifyºº
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] thatº
night,º
let darknessº
seizeºº
uponº
it; let it notº
be joinedºº
unto the daysº
of the year,º
let it notº
comeºº
into the numberº
of the months.º |
|
3:7
But let that night be pain, and let not mirth come upon it, nor joy. |
3:7
Lo,º
let thatº
nightº
beº
solitary,º
let noº
joyful voiceº
comeºº
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 curseºº
it that curseºº
the day,º
who are readyº
to raise upºº
their mourning.º |
|
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 starsº
of the twilightº
thereof be dark;ºº
let it lookºº
for light,º
but [have] none;º
neitherº
let it seeºº
the dawningº
of the day:º |
|
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
Becauseº
it shut not upººº
the doorsº
of my [mother's] womb,º
nor hidºº
sorrowº
from mine eyes.ºº |
|
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
Whyº
diedºº
I notº
from the womb?ºº
[why] did I [not] give up the ghostºº
when I came outºº
of the belly?ºº |
|
3:12
and why did the knees support me? and why did I suck the breasts? |
3:12
Whyº
did the kneesº
preventºº
me? or whyº
the breastsº
thatº
I should suck?ºº |
|
3:13
Now I should have lain down and been quiet, I should have slept and been at rest, |
3:13
Forº
nowº
should I have lain stillºº
and been quiet,ºº
I should have slept:ºº
thenº
had I been at rest,ºº |
|
3:14
with kings [and] councillors of the earth, who gloried in [their] swords; |
3:14
Withº
kingsº
and counsellorsºº
of the earth,º
which builtºº
desolate placesº
for themselves; |
|
3:15
or with rulers, whose gold was abundant, who filled their houses with silver: |
3:15
Orº
withº
princesº
that had gold,º
who filledºº
their housesº
with silver:º |
|
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
Orº
as an hiddenºº
untimely birthº
I had notº
been;º
as infantsº
[which] neverº
sawºº
light.º |
|
3:17
There the ungodly have burnt out the fury of rage; there the wearied in body rest. |
3:17
Thereº
the wickedº
ceaseºº
[from] troubling;º
and thereº
the wearyºº
be at rest.ºº |
|
3:18
And the men of old time have together ceased to hear the exactor's voice. |
3:18
[There] the prisonersº
restºº
together;º
they hearºº
notº
the voiceº
of the oppressor.ºº |
|
3:19
The small and great are there, and the servant that feared his lord. |
3:19
The smallº
and greatº
are there;º
and the servantº
[is] freeº
from his adon.ºº |
|
3:20
For why is light given to those who are in bitterness, and life to those souls which are in griefs? |
3:20
Whereforeº
is lightº
givenºº
to him that is in misery,º
and lifeº
unto the bitterº
[in] soul;º |
|
3:21
who desire death, and obtain it not, digging [for it] as [for] treasures; |
3:21
Which longºº
for death,º
but it [cometh] not;º
and digºº
for it more than for hid treasures;ºº |
|
3:22
and would be very joyful if they should gain it? |
3:22
Which rejoiceº
exceedingly,ºº
[and] are glad,ºº
whenº
they can findºº
the grave?º |
|
3:23
Death [is] rest to [such] a man, for God has hedged him in. |
3:23
[Why is light given] to a manº
whoseº
wayº
is hid,ºº
and whomº
Eloahº
hath hedged in?ºº |
|
3:24
For my groaning comes before my food, and I weep being beset with terror. |
3:24
Forº
my sighingº
comethºº
beforeº
I eat,º
and my roaringsº
are poured outºº
like the waters.º |
|
3:25
For the terror of which I meditated has come upon me, and that which I had feared has befallen me. |
3:25
Forº
the thing which I greatlyº
fearedººº
is comeºº
uponº
me, and that whichº
I was afraidºº
ofº
is comeºº
unto me. |
|
3:26
I was not at peace, nor quiet, nor had I rest; yet wrath came upon me. |
3:26
I was notº
in safety,ºº
neitherº
had I rest,ºº
neitherº
was I quiet;ºº
yet troubleº
came.ºº |
