Job 3

1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.AKJV — Job 3:1

2 And Job spoke, and said,AKJV — Job 3:2

3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.AKJV — Job 3:3

4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine on it.AKJV — Job 3:4

5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell on it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.AKJV — Job 3:5

6 As for that night, let darkness seize on it; let it not be joined to the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.AKJV — Job 3:6

7 See, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.AKJV — Job 3:7

8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.AKJV — Job 3:8

9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:AKJV — Job 3:9

10 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’ womb, nor hid sorrow from my eyes.AKJV — Job 3:10

11 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?AKJV — Job 3:11

12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?AKJV — Job 3:12

13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,AKJV — Job 3:13

14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves;AKJV — Job 3:14

15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:AKJV — Job 3:15

16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.AKJV — Job 3:16

17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.AKJV — Job 3:17

18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.AKJV — Job 3:18

19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.AKJV — Job 3:19

20 Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul;AKJV — Job 3:20

21 Which long for death, but it comes not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;AKJV — Job 3:21

22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?AKJV — Job 3:22

23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God has hedged in?AKJV — Job 3:23

24 For my sighing comes before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.AKJV — Job 3:24

25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come on me, and that which I was afraid of is come to me.AKJV — Job 3:25

26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.AKJV — Job 3:26
