V.1 After 310 this opened 6605-1 Job 347 his mouth, 6310 and cursed 7043-17 his day. 3117

3:2 And Job 347 spake, 6030-4 and said, 559-4

3:3 Let the day 3117 perish 6-4 wherein I was born, 3205-11 and the night 3915 [in which] it was said, 559-1 There is a man 1397 child conceived. 2029-27

3:4 Let that day 3117 be darkness; 2822 let not God 433 regard 1875-4 it from above, 4605 neither let the light 5105 shine 3313-55 upon it.

3:5 Let darkness 2822 and the shadow of death 6757 stain 1350-4 it; let a cloud 6053 dwell 7931-4 upon it; let the blackness 3650 of the day 3117 terrify 1204-17 it.

3:6 As [for] that night, 3915 let darkness 652 seize 3947-4 upon it; let it not be joined 2302-4 unto the days 3117 of the year, 8141 let it not come 935-4 into the number 4557 of the months. 3391

3:7 Lo, let that night 3915 be solitary, 1565 let no joyful voice 7445 come 935-4 therein.

3:8 Let them curse 5344-4 it that curse 779-6 the day, 3117 who are ready 6264 to raise up 5782-32 their mourning. 3882

3:9 Let the stars 3556 of the twilight 5399 thereof be dark; 2821-4 let it look 6960-17 for light, 216 but [have] none; neither let it see 7200-4 the dawning 6079 of the day: 7837

3:10 Because it shut 5462-1 not up the doors 1817 of my [mother's] womb, 990 nor hid 5641-55 sorrow 5999 from mine eyes. 5869

3:11 Why died 4191-4 I not from the womb? 7358 [why] did I [not] give up the ghost 1478-4 when I came out 3318-1 of the belly? 990

3:12 Why did the knees 1290 prevent 6923-14 me? or why the breasts 7699 that I should suck? 3243-4

3:13 For now should I have lain still 7901-1 and been quiet, 8252-4 I should have slept: 3462-1 then had I been at rest, 5117-4

3:14 With kings 4428 and counsellors 3289-6 of the earth, 776 which built 1129-6 desolate places 2723 for themselves;

3:15 Or with princes 8269 that had gold, 2091 who filled 4390-18 their houses 1004 with silver: 3701

3:16 Or as an hidden 2934-7 untimely birth 5309 I had not been; as infants 5768 [which] never saw 7200-1 light. 216

3:17 There the wicked 7563 cease 2308-1 [from] troubling; 7267 and there the weary 3019 3581 be at rest. 5117-4

3:18 [There] the prisoners 615 rest 7599-40 together; 3162 they hear 8085-1 not the voice 6963 of the oppressor. 5065-6

3:19 The small 6996 and great 1419 are there; and the servant 5650 [is] free 2670 from his master. 113

3:20 Wherefore is light 216 given 5414-4 to him that is in misery, 6001 and life 2416 unto the bitter 4751 [in] soul; 5315

3:21 Which long 2442-18 for death, 4194 but it [cometh] not; and dig 2658-4 for it more than for hid treasures; 4301

3:22 Which rejoice 8056 exceedingly, 1524 [and] are glad, 7797-4 when they can find 4672-4 the grave? 6913

3:23 [Why is light given] to a man 1397 whose way 1870 is hid, 5641-8 and whom God 433 hath hedged in? 5526-55

3:24 For my sighing 585 cometh 935-4 before 6440 I eat, 3899 and my roarings 7581 are poured out 5413-4 like the waters. 4325

3:25 For the thing which I greatly 6343 feared 6342-1 is come 857-4 upon me, and that which I was afraid 3025-1 of is come 935-4 unto me.
