Book 29 : KETUVIM - JOB - Chapter 003

03:001

After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day

03:002

And Job spoke, and said

03:003

Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night wherein it was said: 'A man-child is brought forth.

03:004

Let that day be darkness; let not G-d inquire after it from above, neither let the light shine upon it

03:005

Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; let a cloud dwell upon it; let all that maketh black the day terrify it

03:006

As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months

03:007

Lo, let that night be desolate; let no joyful voice come therein

03:008

Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan

03:009

Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning

03:010

Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid trouble from mine eyes

03:011

Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not perish at birth

03:012

Why did the knees receive me? And wherefore the breasts, that I should suck

03:013

For now should I have lain still and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest-

03:014

With kings and counsellors of the earth, who built up waste places for themselves

03:015

Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver

03:016

Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that never saw light

03:017

There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary are at rest

03:018

There the prisoners are at ease together; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster

03:019

The small and great are there alike; and the servant is free from his master

03:020

Wherewith is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul-

03:021

Who long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures

03:022

Who rejoice unto exultation, and are glad, when they can find the grave?-

03:023

To a man whose way is hid, and whom G-d hath hedged in

03:024

For my sighing cometh instead of my food, and my roarings are poured out like water

03:025

For the thing which I did fear is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of hath overtaken me

03:026

I was not at ease, neither was I quiet, neither had I rest; but trouble came
