Job Laments His Birth

|Jó 3:1| After this Job ^a opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.

|Jó 3:2| And Job said:

|Jó 3:3| ^b “Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night that said, ‘A man is conceived.’

|Jó 3:4| Let that day be darkness! May God above not seek it, nor light shine upon it.

|Jó 3:5| Let gloom and ^c deep darkness claim it. Let clouds dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

|Jó 3:6| That night — let thick darkness seize it! Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.

|Jó 3:7| Behold, let that night be barren; let no joyful cry enter it.

|Jó 3:8| Let those curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up ^d Leviathan.

|Jó 3:9| Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light, but have none, nor see ^e the eyelids of the morning,

|Jó 3:10| because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb, nor hide trouble from my eyes.
