Job curseth the day and services of his birth.1 ¶ Afterº this² openedºª Jobº² his mouth,º and cursedºª² his day.º 2 And Jobº spake,ºª and said,ºª 3 Let the dayº perishºª wherein I was born,ºª and the nightº [in which] it was said,ºª There is a man childº conceived.ºª 4 Let that² dayº be² darkness;º let not² Godº regardºª it from above,º² neither² let the lightº shineºª upon² it. 5 Let darknessº and the shadow of deathº stainºª it; let a cloudº dwellºª upon² it; let the blacknessº of the dayº terrifyºª it. 6 As [for] that² night,º let darknessº seize¹ª upon² it; let it not² be joinedºª unto the daysº of the year,º let it not² comeºª into the numberº of the months.º 7 Lo,² let that² nightº be² solitary,º let no² joyful voiceº comeºª therein. 8 Let them curseºª it that curseºª the day,º who are readyº to raise upºª their mourning.º 9 Let the starsº of the twilightº thereof be dark;ºª let it lookºª for light,º but [have] none;² neither² let it seeºª the dawningº of the day:º 10 Because² it shut not upºª² the doorsº of my [mother's] womb,º nor hidºª sorrowº from mine eyes.º² 11 Why² diedºª I not² from the womb?º² [why] did I [not] give up the ghostºª when I came outºª of the belly?º² 12 Why² did the kneesº preventºª me? or why² the breastsº that² I should suck?ºª [1] Jb 1:11, 22; 2:5, 9, 10; 3:3; 35:16; Ps 39:2; 106:33; Jr 20:14.

The ease of death.13 For² now² should I have lain stillºª and been quiet,ºª I should have slept:ºª then² had I been at rest,ºª 14 With² kingsº and counsellorsºª of the earth,º which builtºª desolate placesº for themselves; 15 Or² with² princesº that had gold,º who filledºª their housesº with silver:º 16 Or² as an hiddenºª untimely birthº I had not² been;² as infantsº [which] never² sawºª light.º 17 There² the wickedº ceaseºª [from] troubling;º and there² the wearyºº be at rest.ºª 18 [There] the prisonersº restºª together;º they hearºª not² the voiceº of the oppressor.ºª 19 The smallº and greatº are there;² and the servantº [is] freeº from his master.º² [13] Ec 6:3; 9:10.
