Job 3:1-10 - Job Regrets His Birth

¹ After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. ² And Job spoke, and said,

³ Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a male 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 rejoice among 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 into it. ⁸ Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to arouse leviathan. ⁹ Let the stars of its twilight 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 my eyes.
