约伯记 3
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
约伯自诅其诞辰
3 此后，约伯开口咒诅自己的生日， 2 说： 3 “愿我生的那日和说怀了男胎的那夜都灭没。 4 愿那日变为黑暗，愿神不从上面寻找它，愿亮光不照于其上。 5 愿黑暗和死荫索取那日，愿密云停在其上，愿日食恐吓它。 6 愿那夜被幽暗夺取，不在年中的日子同乐，也不入月中的数目。 7 愿那夜没有生育，其间也没有欢乐的声音。 8 愿那咒诅日子且能惹动鳄鱼的，咒诅那夜。 9 愿那夜黎明的星宿变为黑暗，盼亮却不亮，也不见早晨的光线[a]。 10 因没有把怀我胎的门关闭，也没有将患难对我的眼隐藏。 11 我为何不出母胎而死？为何不出母腹绝气？ 12 为何有膝接收我？为何有奶哺养我？ 13 不然，我就早已躺卧安睡， 14 和地上为自己重造荒丘的君王、谋士， 15 或与有金子、将银子装满了房屋的王子一同安息； 16 或像隐而未现、不到期而落的胎，归于无有，如同未见光的婴孩。 17 在那里，恶人止息搅扰，困乏人得享安息； 18 被囚的人同得安逸，不听见督工的声音。 19 大小都在那里，奴仆脱离主人的辖制。
自言死为美
20 “受患难的人，为何有光赐给他呢？心中愁苦的人，为何有生命赐给他呢？ 21 他们切望死却不得死，求死胜于求隐藏的珍宝。 22 他们寻见坟墓就快乐，极其欢喜。 23 人的道路既然遮隐，神又把他四面围困，为何有光赐给他呢？ 24 我未曾吃饭就发出叹息，我唉哼的声音涌出如水。 25 因我所恐惧的临到我身，我所惧怕的迎我而来。 26 我不得安逸，不得平静，也不得安息，却有患难来到。”

Job 3
King James Version
3 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
2 And Job spake, and said,
3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
10 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
11 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves;
15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
21 Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
