1 After this hath Job opened his mouth, and revileth his day. YLT — Job 3:1
2 And Job answereth and saith: — YLT — Job 3:2
3 Let the day perish in which I am born, And the night that hath said: ‘A man-child hath been conceived.’ YLT — Job 3:3
4 That day — let it be darkness, Let not God require it from above, Nor let light shine upon it. YLT — Job 3:4
5 Let darkness and death-shade redeem it, Let a cloud tabernacle upon it, Let them terrify it as the most bitter of days. YLT — Job 3:5
6 That night — let thick darkness take it, Let it not be united to days of the year, Into the number of months let it not come. YLT — Job 3:6
7 Lo! that night — let it be gloomy, Let no singing come into it. YLT — Job 3:7
8 Let the cursers of day mark it, Who are ready to wake up Leviathan. YLT — Job 3:8
9 Let the stars of its twilight be dark, Let it wait for light, and there is none, And let it not look on the eyelids of the dawn. YLT — Job 3:9
10 Because it hath not shut the doors Of the womb that was mine! And hide misery from mine eyes. YLT — Job 3:10
11 Why from the womb do I not die? From the belly I have come forth and gasp! YLT — Job 3:11
12 Wherefore have knees been before me? And what [are] breasts, that I suck? YLT — Job 3:12
13 For now, I have lain down, and am quiet, I have slept — then there is rest to me, YLT — Job 3:13
14 With kings and counsellors of earth, These building wastes for themselves. YLT — Job 3:14
15 Or with princes — they have gold, They are filling their houses [with] silver. YLT — Job 3:15
16 (Or as a hidden abortion I am not, As infants — they have not seen light.) YLT — Job 3:16
17 There the wicked have ceased troubling, And there rest do the wearied in power. YLT — Job 3:17
18 Together prisoners have been at ease, They have not heard the voice of an exactor, YLT — Job 3:18
19 Small and great [are] there the same. And a servant [is] free from his lord. YLT — Job 3:19
20 Why giveth He to the miserable light, and life to the bitter soul? YLT — Job 3:20
21 Who are waiting for death, and it is not, And they seek it above hid treasures. YLT — Job 3:21
22 Who are glad — unto joy, They rejoice when they find a grave. YLT — Job 3:22
23 To a man whose way hath been hidden, And whom God doth shut up? YLT — Job 3:23
24 For before my food, my sighing cometh, And poured out as waters [are] my roarings. YLT — Job 3:24
25 For a fear I feared and it meeteth me, And what I was afraid of doth come to me. YLT — Job 3:25
26 I was not safe — nor was I quiet — Nor was I at rest — and trouble cometh! YLT — Job 3:26
