Job 3

1 ♥ 📝 A fter^H310 this opened^H6605 Job^H347 his mouth,^H6310 and cursed^H7043 his day.^H3117

2 ♥ 📝 And Job^H347 answered^H6030 and said:^H559

3 ♥ 📝 Let the day^H3117 perish^H6 wherein I was born,^H3205 And the night^H3915 which said,^H559 There is a man-child^H1397 conceived.^H2029

4 ♥ 📝 Let that day^H3117 be darkness;^H2822 Let not God^H433 from above^H4605 seek^H1875 for it, Neither let the light^H5105 shine^H3313 upon it.

5 ♥ 📝 Let darkness^H2822 and the shadow of death^H6757 claim^H1350 it for their own; Let a cloud^H6053 dwell^H7931 upon it; Let all that maketh black^H3650 the day^H3117 terrify^H1204 it.

6 ♥ 📝 As for that night,^H3915 let thick darkness^H652 seize^H3947 upon it: Let it not rejoice^H2302 among the days^H3117 of the year;^H8141 Let it not come^H935 into the number^H4557 of the months.^H3391

7 ♥ 📝 Lo, let that night^H3915 be barren;^H1565 Let no joyful voice^H7445 come^H935 therein.

8 ♥ 📝 Let them curse^H5344 it that curse^H779 the day,^H3117 Who are ready^H6264 to rouse up^H5782 leviathan.^H3882

9 ♥ 📝 Let the stars^H3556 of the twilight^H5399 thereof be dark:^H2821 Let it look^H6960 for light,^H216 but have none; Neither let it behold^H7200 the eyelids^H6079 of the morning:^H7837

10 ♥ 📝 Because it shut not up^H5462 the doors^H1817 of my [mother's] womb,^H990 Nor hid^H5641 trouble^H5999 from mine eyes.^H5869

11 ♥ 📝 Why died^H4191 I not from the womb?^H7358 Why did I not give up the ghost^H1478 when my mother^H990 bare^H3318 me?

12 ♥ 📝 Why did the knees^H1290 receive^H6923 me? Or why the breast,^H7699 that I should suck?^H3243

13 ♥ 📝 For now should I have lain down^H7901 and been quiet;^H8252 I should have slept;^H3462 then had I been at rest,^H5117

14 ♥ 📝 With kings^H4428 and counsellors^H3289 of the earth,^H776 Who built^H1129 up waste places^H2723 for themselves;

15 ♥ 📝 Or with princes^H8269 that had gold,^H2091 Who filled^H4390 their houses^H1004 with silver:^H3701

16 ♥ 📝 Or as a hidden^H2934 untimely birth^H5309 I had not been, As infants^H5768 that never saw^H7200 light.^H216

17 ♥ 📝 There the wicked^H7563 cease^H2308 from troubling;^H7267 And there the weary^H3019 are at rest.^H5117

18 ♥ 📝 There the prisoners^H615 are at ease^H7599 together;^H3162 They hear^H8085 not the voice^H6963 of the taskmaster.^H5065

19 ♥ 📝 The small^H6996 and the great^H1419 are there: And the servant^H5650 is free^H2670 from his master.^H113

20 ♥ 📝 Wherefore is light^H216 given^H5414 to him that is in misery,^H6001 And life^H2416 unto the bitter^H4751 in soul;^H5315

21 ♥ 📝 Who long^H2442 for death,^H4194 but it cometh not, And dig^H2658 for it more than for hid treasures;^H4301

22 ♥ 📝 Who rejoice^H8056 exceedingly,^H1524 And are glad,^H7797 when they can find^H4672 the grave?^H6913

23 ♥ 📝 [ Why is light given] to a man^H1397 whose way^H1870 is hid,^H5641 And whom God^H433 hath hedged in?^H5526

24 ♥ 📝 For my sighing^H585 cometh^H935 before^H6440 I eat,^H3899 And my groanings^H7581 are poured out^H5413 like water.^H4325

25 ♥ 📝 For the thing which I fear^H6342 cometh^H857 upon me, And that which I am afraid^H3025 of cometh^H935 unto me.

26 ♥ 📝 I am not at ease,^H8252 neither am I quiet,^H8252 neither have I rest;^H8252 But trouble^H7267 cometh.^H935
