Job 3:1-10 - Job Regrets His Birth

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

³ Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night which said, A man-child is conceived. ⁴ Let that day be darkness. Let not God look upon it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. ⁵ Let darkness and the shadow of death claim 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 barren; let no joyful voice come in it. ⁸ Let those curse it who curse the day, who are ready to stir up Leviathan. ⁹ Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it look for light, but have none. Let it not see the eyelids of the dawn. ¹⁰ For it did not shut up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hide sorrow from my eyes.
