\v 1 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day he was born.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 2 He said:
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 3 "Let the day on which I was born perish,
|
|
|
|
|
\q the night that said, 'A boy has been conceived.'
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 4 Let that day be darkness;
|
|
|
|
|
\q let not God from above call it to mind,
|
|
|
|
|
\q neither let the sunlight shine on it.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own;
|
|
|
|
|
\q let a cloud live on it;
|
|
|
|
|
\q let everything that makes the day black truly terrify it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 6 As for that night, let thick darkness seize it:
|
|
|
|
|
\q let it not rejoice among the days of the year;
|
|
|
|
|
\q let it not come into the number of the months.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 7 See, let that night be barren;
|
|
|
|
|
\q let no joyful voice come into it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 8 Let them curse that day,
|
|
|
|
|
\q those who know how to wake up Leviathan.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 9 Let the stars of that day's twilight be dark.
|
|
|
|
|
\q Let that day look for light, but find none;
|
|
|
|
|
\q neither let it see the eyelids of the dawn,
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 10 because it did not shut up the doors of my mother's womb,
|
|
|
|
|
\q nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 11 Why did I not die when I came out from the womb?
|
|
|
|
|
\q Why did I not give up my spirit when my mother bore me?
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 12 Why did her knees receive me?
|
|
|
|
|
\q Or why did her breasts welcome me so that I should nurse at them?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 13 For now I would have been lying down quietly;
|
|
|
|
|
\q I would have slept and been at rest
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 14 with kings and counselors of the earth,
|
|
|
|
|
\q who built up tombs for themselves that are now in ruins.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 15 Or I would have been lying with princes who once had gold,
|
|
|
|
|
\q who had filled their houses with silver.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 16 Or perhaps I would have been stillborn,
|
|
|
|
|
\q like infants that never see the light.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 17 There the wicked cease from trouble;
|
|
|
|
|
\q there the weary are at rest.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 18 There the prisoners are at ease together;
|
|
|
|
|
\q they do not hear the voice of the slave driver.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 19 Small and great people are there;
|
|
|
|
|
\q the servant is free from his master there.

\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 20 Why is light given to him who is in misery;
|
|
|
|
|
\q why is life given to the one who is bitter in soul;
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 21 to one who longs for death, but it does not come;
|
|
|
|
|
\q to one who searches for death more than those who search for hidden treasure?
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 22 Why is light given to one who rejoices very much
|
|
|
|
|
\q and is glad when he can find the grave?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,
|
|
|
|
|
\q a man whom God has hedged in?
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 24 For my sighing happens instead of eating;
|
|
|
|
|
\q my groaning is poured out like water.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 25 For the thing that I feared has come on me;
|
|
|
|
|
\q what I was afraid of has come to me.
|
|
|
|
|
\q
|
|
|
|
|
\v 26 I am not at ease, I am not quiet, and I have no rest;
|
|
|
|
|
\q trouble comes instead."
