Job 3:1-10 - Job Regrets His Birth

¹ After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth. ² Job answered:

³ "Let the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, 'There is a boy conceived.' ⁴ Let that day be darkness. Do not let God from above seek for it, neither let the light shine on it. ⁵ Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes black the day terrify it. ⁶ As for that night, let thick darkness seize on 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 voice come therein. ⁸ Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan. ⁹ Let the stars of its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning, ¹⁰ because it did not shut up the doors of my mother's womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
