Job 3:1 (NIV) New International Version

1 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.
2 He said:
3 "May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said,`A boy is born!'
4 That day--may it turn to darkness; may God above not care about it; may no light shine upon it.
5 May darkness and deep shadow claim it once more; may a cloud settle over it; may blackness overwhelm its light.
6 That night--may thick darkness seize it; may it not be included among the days of the year nor be entered in any of the months.
7 May that night be barren; may no shout of joy be heard in it.
8 May those who curse days curse that day, those who are ready to rouse Leviathan.
9 May its morning stars become dark; may it wait for daylight in vain and not see the first rays of dawn,
10 for it did not shut the doors of the womb on me to hide trouble from my eyes.
11 "Why did I not perish at birth, and die as I came from the womb?
12 Why were there knees to receive me and breasts that I might be nursed?
13 For now I would be lying down in peace; I would be asleep and at rest
14 with kings and counsellors of the earth, who built for themselves places now lying in ruins,
15 with rulers who had gold, who filled their houses with silver.
16 Or why was I not hidden in the ground like a stillborn child, like an infant who never saw the light of day?
17 There the wicked cease from turmoil, and there the weary are at rest.
18 Captives also enjoy their ease; they no longer hear the slave driver's shout.
19 The small and the great are there, and the slave is freed from his master.
20 "Why is light given to those in misery, and life to the bitter of soul,
21 to those who long for death that does not come, who search for it more than for hidden treasure,
22 who are filled with gladness and rejoice when they reach the grave?
23 Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
24 For sighing comes to me instead of food; my groans pour out like water.
25 What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me.
26 I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil."
1 After H310 PREP this H3651 ADV opened H6605 VQQ3MS Job H347 EMS his mouth H6310 CMS-3MS , and cursed H7043 W-VPY3MS his day H3117 CMS-3MS .
2 And Job H347 EMS spoke H6030 W-VQY3MS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS ,
3 Let the day H3117 NMS perish H6 VQI3MS wherein I was born H3205 VNY1MS , and the night H3915 WD-NMS in which it was said H559 VQQ3MS , There is a man child H1397 NMS conceived H2029 .
4 Let that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 D-AMS be H1961 VQI3MS darkness H2822 NMS ; let not H408 ADV God H433 NAME-4MS regard H1875 VQY3MS-3MS it from above H4605 M-ADV , neither H408 ADV let the light H5105 NFS shine H3313 VHI3FS upon H5921 PREP-3MS it .
5 Let darkness H2822 NMS and the shadow of death H6757 W-NMS stain H1350 VQY3MP-3MS it ; let a cloud H6053 NFS dwell H7931 VQY2FS upon H5921 PREP-3MS it ; let the blackness H3650 K-CMP of the day H3117 NMS terrify H1204 VPY3MP-3MS it .
6 As for that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS night H3915 D-AMS , let darkness H652 NMS seize upon H3947 VQY3MS-3MS it ; let it not H408 NPAR be joined H2302 VQI3MS unto the days H3117 B-CMP of the year H8141 NFS , let it not H408 NPAR come H935 VQY3MS into the number H4557 B-CMS of the months H3391 NMP .
7 Lo H2009 IJEC , let that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS night H3915 D-AMS be H1961 VPY3MS solitary H1565 AMS , let no H408 NPAR joyful voice H7445 NFS come H935 VQY2MS therein .
8 Let them curse H5344 VQY3MP it that curse H779 VQCMP the day H3117 NMS , who are ready H6264 D-AMP to raise up H5782 VPFC their mourning H3882 NMS .
9 Let the stars H3556 CMP of the twilight H5399 CMS-3MS thereof be dark H2821 VQY3MP ; let it look H6960 VPI3MS for light H216 L-NMS , but have none H369 W-NPAR ; neither H408 W-NPAR let it see H7200 VQY3MS the dawning H6079 B-CMD of the day H7837 NMS :
10 Because H3588 CONJ it shut not up H3808 NADV the doors H1817 CFD of my mother\'s womb H990 CFS-1MS , nor hid H5641 W-VHY3MS sorrow H5999 NMS from mine eyes H5869 M-CMD-1MS .
11 Why H4100 L-IPRO died H4191 VQY1MS I not H3808 NPAR from the womb H7358 M-NMS ? why did I not give up the ghost H1478 W-VQY1MS when I came out H3318 VQPFS-1MS of the belly H990 M-CFS ?
12 Why H4069 IPRO did the knees H1290 NFD prevent H6923 VPQ3MP-1MS me ? or why H4100 W-IPRO the breasts H7699 NMD that H3588 CONJ I should suck H3243 VQY1MS ?
13 For H3588 CONJ now H6258 ADV should I have lain still H7901 VQQ1MS and been quiet H8252 W-VQY1MS , I should have slept H3462 VQQ1MS : then H227 ADV had I been at rest H5117 VQY3MS ,
14 With H5973 PREP kings H4428 NMP and counselors H3289 W-VQCMP of the earth H776 NFS , which built H1129 D-VQQMP desolate places H2723 NFP for themselves ;
15 Or H176 CONJ with H5973 PREP princes H8269 NMP that had gold H2091 NMS , who filled H4390 D-VPPMP their houses H1004 CMP-3MP with silver H3701 NMS :
16 Or H176 CONJ as a hidden H2934 VWPMS untimely birth H5309 K-NMS I had not H3808 NADV been H1961 VQY1MS ; as infants H5768 K-NMP which never H3808 NADV saw H7200 VQQ3MP light H216 NMS .
17 There H8033 ADV the wicked H7563 AMP cease H2308 VQQ3MP from troubling H7267 NMS ; and there H8033 W-ADV the weary H3019 JMP be at rest H5117 VQY3MP .
18 There the prisoners H615 NMP rest H7599 VPQ3MP together H3162 ADV ; they hear H8085 VQQ3MP not H3808 NADV the voice H6963 CMS of the oppressor H5065 VQPMS .
19 The small H6996 AMS and great H1419 W-AMS are there H8033 ADV ; and the servant H5650 W-NMS is free H2670 AMS from his master H113 M-CMP-3MS .
20 Wherefore H4100 L-IPRO is light H216 NMS given H5414 VHFA to him that is in misery H6001 L-NMS , and life H2416 W-NMP unto the bitter H4751 L-JMP in soul H5315 GFS ;
21 Which long H2442 D-VPPMP for death H4194 LD-NMS , but it cometh not H369 W-NADV-3MS ; and dig H2658 W-VQY3MP-3MS for it more than for hid treasures H4301 M-NMP ;
22 Which rejoice H8056 exceedingly H413 PREP , and are glad H7797 VQY3MP , when H3588 CONJ they can find H4672 VQY3MP the grave H6913 NMS ?
23 Why is light given to a man H1397 L-NMS whose H834 RPRO way H1870 CMS-3MS is hid H5641 , and whom H1157 God H433 NAME-4MS hath hedged in H5526 W-VHY3MS ?
24 For H3588 CONJ my sighing H585 cometh H935 before H6440 L-CMP I eat H3899 , and my roarings H7581 are poured out H5413 like the waters H4325 KD-NMP .
25 For H3588 CONJ the thing which I greatly feared H6343 NMS is come upon H857 W-VQY3MS-1MS me , and that which H834 W-RPRO I was afraid of H3025 VQQ1MS is come H935 VQY3MS unto me .
26 I was not H3808 NADV in safety H7951 VQQ1MS , neither H3808 W-NADV had I rest H8252 VQQ1MS , neither H3808 NADV was I quiet H5117 VQQ1MS ; yet trouble H7267 NMS came H935 W-VQY3MS .
