Job 3:1-10 - Job Regrets His Birth

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

³ Let the day perish wherein I was born, And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived. ⁴ Let that day be darkness; Let not God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine upon it. ⁵ Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it. ⁶ As for that night, let thick 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 barren; Let no joyful voice come therein. ⁸ Let them curse it that curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan. ⁹ Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark: Let it look for light, but have none; Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning: ¹⁰ Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes.
