Job - Chapter: 3


3:1	After this, opened Iob his mouth, and cursed his day.
3:2	And Iob spake, and said,
3:3	Let the day perish, wherein I was borne, and the night in which it was said, There is a man-childe conceiued.
3:4	Let that day bee darkenesse, let not God regard it from aboue, neither let the light shine vpon it.
3:5	Let darkenes and the shadowe of death staine it, let a cloud dwell vpon it, let the blacknes of the day terrifie it.
3:6	As for that night, let darkenesse seaze vpon it, let it not be ioyned vnto the dayes of the yeere, let it not come into the number of the moneths.
3:7	Loe, let that night be solitarie, let no ioyfull voice come therein.
3:8	Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise vp their mourning.
3:9	Let the starres of the twilight thereof be darke, let it looke for light, but haue none, neither let it see the dawning of the day:
3:10	Because it shut not vp the doores of my mothers wombe, nor hid sorrowe from mine eyes.
3:11	Why died I not from the wombe? why did I not giue vp the ghost when I came out of the bellie?
3:12	Why did the knees preuent mee? or why the breasts, that I should sucke?
3:13	For now should I haue lien still and beene quiet, I should haue slept; then had I bene at rest,
3:14	With Kings and counsellers of the earth, which built desolate places for themselues,
3:15	Or with Princes that had golde, who filled their houses with siluer:
3:16	Or as an hidden vntimely birth, I had not bene; as infants which neuer saw light.
3:17	There the wicked cease from troubling: and there the wearie be at rest.
3:18	There the prisoners rest together, they heare not the voice of the oppressour.
3:19	The small and great are there, and the seruant is free from his master.
3:20	Wherefore is light giuen to him that is in misery, and life vnto the bitter in soule?
3:21	Which long for death, but it commeth not, and dig for it more then for hid treasures:
3:22	Which reioice exceedingly, and are glad when they can finde the graue?
3:23	Why is light giuen to a man, whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
3:24	For my sighing commeth before I eate, and my roarings are powred out like the waters.
3:25	For the thing which I greatly feared is come vpon me, and that which I was afraid of, is come vnto me.
3:26	I was not in safetie, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet: yet trouble came.


3:1	After this opened Iob his mouth, and cursed his day
3:2	And Iob aunswered, and sayde
3:3	Let the day perishe wherin I was borne, and the night in the whiche it was sayd, There is a man childe conceaued
3:4	The same day be turned to darknesse, and not regarded of God from aboue, neither let the light shyne vpon it
3:5	But let it be stayned with darknesse and the shadowe of death, let the dimme cloude fall vpon it, whiche may make it terrible as a most bitter day
3:6	Let the darke storme ouercome that night, and let it not be ioyned vnto the dayes of the yere, nor counted in the number of the monethes
3:7	Desolate be that night, and without gladnesse
3:8	Let them that curse the day, and that be redy to rayse vp mourning, geue it also their curse
3:9	Let the starres of that night be dimme thorowe darkenesse of it, let it loke for light, but haue none, neither let it see the dawning of the day
3:10	Because it shut not vp the doores of my mothers wombe, nor hyd sorowe from myne eyes
3:11	Alas why died I not in the birth? why dyd not I perishe assoone as I came out of my mothers wombe
3:12	Why set they me vpon their knees? why gaue they me sucke with their brestes
3:13	Then should I nowe haue lyen stil, I shoulde haue slept, and ben at rest
3:14	Lyke as the kinges and lordes of the earth, which haue buylded them selues speciall places
3:15	Or as the princes that haue had golde, and their houses full of siluer
3:16	Or why was not I hyd, as a thing borne out of tune, either as young children which neuer sawe the light
3:17	There must the wicked ceasse from their tyrannie, and there such as laboured valiauntly be at rest
3:18	There the prisoners rest together, they heare no more the voyce of the oppressour
3:19	There are small and great, and the seruaunt is free from his maister
3:20	Wherefore is the light geuen to hym that is in miserie? & lyfe vnto them that haue heauy heartes
3:21	Whiche long for death and finde it not, though they search more for it than for treasures
3:22	Which reioyce exceedingly, and be glad when they can finde the graue
3:23	From whom their endes are hyd, and consealed by God
3:24	For my sighes come before I eate, and my roringes are powred out like the water
3:25	For the thing that I feared is come vpon me, and the thing that I was afrayde of is happened vnto me
3:26	Was I not happy? Had I not quietnesse? Was I not in rest? And nowe commeth such miserie vpon me


3:1	Afterward Iob opened his mouth, and cursed his day.
3:2	And Iob cryed out, and sayd,
3:3	Let the day perish, wherein I was borne, and the night when it was sayde, There is a man childe conceiued.
3:4	Let that day bee darkenesse, let not God regarde it from aboue, neyther let the light shine vpon it,
3:5	But let darkenesse, and the shadowe of death staine it: let the cloude remayne vpon it, and let them make it fearefull as a bitter day.
3:6	Let darkenesse possesse that night, let it not be ioyned vnto the dayes of the yeere, nor let it come into the count of the moneths.
3:7	Yea, desolate be that night, and let no ioy be in it.
3:8	Let them that curse the day, (being readie to renue their mourning) curse it.
3:9	Let the starres of that twilight be dimme through darkenesse of it: let it looke for light, but haue none: neither let it see the dawning of the day,
3:10	Because it shut not vp the dores of my mothers wombe: nor hid sorowe from mine eyes.
3:11	Why died I not in the birth? or why dyed I not, when I came out of the wombe?
3:12	Why did the knees preuent me? and why did I sucke the breasts?
3:13	For so shoulde I now haue lyen and bene quiet, I should haue slept then, and bene at rest,
3:14	With the Kings and counselers of the earth, which haue buylded themselues desolate places:
3:15	Or with the princes that had golde, and haue filled their houses with siluer.
3:16	Or why was I not hid, as an vntimely birth, either as infants, which haue not seene the light?
3:17	The wicked haue there ceased from their tyrannie, and there they that laboured valiantly, are at rest.
3:18	The prisoners rest together, and heare not the voyce of the oppressour.
3:19	There are small and great, and the seruant is free from his master.
3:20	Wherefore is the light giuen to him that is in miserie? and life vnto them that haue heauie hearts?
3:21	Which long for death, and if it come not, they would euen search it more then treasures:
3:22	Which ioy for gladnes, and reioyce, when they can finde the graue.
3:23	Why is the light giuen to the man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
3:24	For my sighing commeth before I eate, and my roarings are powred out like the water.
3:25	For the thing I feared, is come vpon me, and the thing that I was afraid of, is come vnto me.
3:26	I had no peace, neither had I quietnesse, neither had I rest, yet trouble is come.
