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	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.


3:1	After this opened iob his mouth and cursed hys daye.
3:2	And Iob answered, and sayde:
3:3	lost be that daye, wherin I was borne, and the nyght, in the which it was sayde: there is a man chylde conceaued.
3:4	The same daye be turned to darckenes, and not regarded of God from aboue, nether lett hym shyne vpon it with lyght,
3:5	but let it be stayned with darcknesse, and the shadowe of death. Let the dymme cloude fall vpon it, and lett it be lapped in with sorowe on the daye tyme.
3:6	Let the darcke storme ouercome that nyght, and lett it not be ioyned vnto the dayes of the yeare, ner counted in the monethes.
3:7	Desolate be that night, and without gladnesse, lett them that curse the daye,
3:8	and that be ready to rayse vp mournyng, geue it also their curse.
3:9	Let the starres of that night be dymme thorow darcknesse of it. Let it loke for lyght, but lett it se none, nether the rysynge vp of the fayre mornynge:
3:10	because it shut not vp the wombe that bare me. For then shulde these sorowes haue bene hyd from myne eyes.
3:11	Alas, why dyed I not in the byrth? Why dyd not I perysh, as sone as I came oute of my mothers wombe?
3:12	Why set they me vpon their knees? Why gaue they me suck with theyr brestes?
3:13	Then shulde I now haue lyen styll, I shulde haue slepte, and bene at reste,
3:14	lyke as the kynges and lordes of the earthe, which haue buylded them selues special places.
3:15	Or as the prynces that haue had greate substaunce of golde, and theyr houses full of syluer.
3:16	Or why was I not hyd, as a thynge borne out of tyme, ether as yonge chyldren, which neuer sawe the light?
3:17	There must the wycked ceasse from theyr tyrannye, and ther soch as are ouerlaboured be at rest:
3:18	ther are those lett out fre, which haue bene in preson, so that they heare nomore the voyce of the oppressoure.
3:19	There are small & great, and the seruaunt is fre from hys master.
3:20	Wherfore is the lyght geuen to hym that is in mysery? and lyfe vnto them, that haue heuy hertes?
3:21	Whych longe for death (and though it come not) wolde dygg it oute of hyd places
3:22	which also wolde be excedyng glad and reioyce, yf they coulde fynde theyr graue any where.
3:23	That shuld be ioye to that man whose waye is hyd, and God kepeth it backe from him.
3:24	For my syghes come before I eate, and my roaringes fall out like the water.
3:25	For the thynge that I feared, is come vpon me: and the thynge that I was afrayed of, is happened vnto me.
3:26	Was I not happy? Had I not quyetnesse? Was I not in rest? And now commeth soch mysery vpon me
