Job 3:1-10

Darby Translation

3 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed his day.

² And Job answered and said,

³ Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night that said, There is a man child conceived.

⁴ That day—let it be darkness, let not +God care for it from above, neither let light shine upon it:

⁵ Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it; let clouds dwell upon it; let darkeners of the day terrify it.

⁶ That night—let gloom seize upon it; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.

⁷ Behold, let that night be barren; let no joyful sound come therein;

⁸ Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse Leviathan;

⁹ Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it wait for light, and have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the dawn:

¹⁰ Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, and hid not trouble from mine eyes.
