Job - Chapter: 3


3:1	Aftir these thingis Joob openyde his mouth,
3:2	and curside his dai, and seide, Perische the dai in which Y was borun,
3:3	and the nyyt in which it was seid, The man is conceyued.
3:4	Thilke dai be turnede in to derknessis; God seke not it aboue, and be it not in mynde, nethir be it liytned with liyt.
3:5	Derknessis make it derk, and the schadewe of deeth and myist occupie it; and be it wlappid with bittirnesse.
3:6	Derk whirlwynde holde that niyt; be it not rikynyd among the daies of the yeer, nethir be it noumbrid among the monethes.
3:7	Thilke nyyt be soleyn, and not worthi of preisyng.
3:8	Curse thei it, that cursen the dai, that ben redi to reise Leuyathan.
3:9	Sterris be maad derk with the derknesse therof; abide it liyt, and se it not, nethir the bigynnyng of the morwetid risyng vp.
3:10	For it closide not the doris of the wombe, that bar me, nethir took awei yuels fro min iyen.
3:11	Whi was not Y deed in the wombe? whi yede Y out of the wombe, and perischide not anoon?
3:12	Whi was Y takun on knees? whi was Y suclid with teetis?
3:13	For now Y slepynge schulde be stille, and schulde reste in my sleep,
3:14	with kyngis, and consuls of erthe, that bilden to hem soleyn places;
3:15	ethir with prynces that han gold in possessioun, and fillen her housis with siluer;
3:16	ethir as a `thing hid not borun Y schulde not stonde, ethir whiche conseyued sien not liyt.
3:17	There wickid men ceessiden of noise, and there men maad wery of strengthe restiden.
3:18	And sum tyme boundun togidere with out disese thei herden not the voys of the wrongful axere.
3:19	A litil man and greet man be there, and a seruaunt free fro his lord.
3:20	Whi is liyt youun to the wretche, and lijf to hem that ben in bitternesse of soule?
3:21	Whiche abiden deeth, and it cometh not;
3:22	as men diggynge out tresour and ioien greetly, whanne thei han founde a sepulcre?
3:23	Whi is liyt youun to a man, whos weie is hid, and God hath cumpassid hym with derknessis?
3:24	Bifore that Y ete, Y siyhe; and as of watir flowynge, so is my roryng.
3:25	For the drede, which Y dredde, cam to me; and that, that Y schamede, bifelde.
3:26	Whether Y dissymilide not? whether Y was not stille? whether Y restide not? and indignacioun cometh on 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.
