1 After H310 this H3651 opened H6605 Job H347 H853 his mouth, H6310 and cursed H7043 H853 his day. H3117
2 And Job H347 spoke, H6030 and said, H559
3 Let the day H3117 perish H6 wherein I was born, H3205 and the night H3915 in which it was said, H559 There is a man child H1397 conceived. H2029
4 Let that H1931 day H3117 be H1961 darkness; H2822 let not H408 God H433 regard H1875 it from above H4480 H4605 , neither H408 let the light H5105 shine H3313 upon H5921 it.
5 Let darkness H2822 and the shadow of death H6757 stain H1350 it ; let a cloud H6053 dwell H7931 upon H5921 it ; let the blackness H3650 of the day H3117 terrify H1204 it.
6 As for that H1931 night, H3915 let darkness H652 seize upon H3947 it ; let it not H408 be joined H2302 unto the days H3117 of the year, H8141 let it not H408 come H935 into the number H4557 of the months. H3391
7 Lo H2009 , let that H1931 night H3915 be H1961 solitary, H1565 let no H408 joyful voice H7445 come H935 therein.
8 Let them curse H5344 it that curse H779 the day, H3117 who are ready H6264 to raise up H5782 their mourning. H3882
9 Let the stars H3556 of the twilight H5399 thereof be dark; H2821 let it look H6960 for light, H216 but have none; H369 neither H408 let it see H7200 the dawning H6079 of the day: H7837
10 Because H3588 it shut not up H3808 H5462 the doors H1817 of my mother's womb, H990 nor hid H5641 sorrow H5999 from mine eyes H4480 H5869 .
11 Why H4100 died H4191 I not H3808 from the womb H4480 H7358 ? why did I not give up the ghost H1478 when I came out H3318 of the belly H4480 H990 ?
12 Why H4069 did the knees H1290 prevent H6923 me? or why H4100 the breasts H7699 that H3588 I should suck H3243 ?
13 For H3588 now H6258 should I have lain still H7901 and been quiet, H8252 I should have slept: H3462 then H227 had I been at rest, H5117
14 With H5973 kings H4428 and counselors H3289 of the earth, H776 which built H1129 desolate places H2723 for themselves;
15 Or H176 with H5973 princes H8269 that had gold, H2091 who filled H4390 their houses H1004 with silver: H3701
16 Or H176 as a hidden H2934 untimely birth H5309 I had not H3808 been; H1961 as infants H5768 which never H3808 saw H7200 light. H216
17 There H8033 the wicked H7563 cease H2308 from troubling; H7267 and there H8033 the weary H3019 H3581 be at rest. H5117
18 There the prisoners H615 rest H7599 together; H3162 they hear H8085 not H3808 the voice H6963 of the oppressor. H5065
19 The small H6996 and great H1419 are there; H8033 and the servant H5650 is free H2670 from his master H4480 H113 .
20 Wherefore H4100 is light H216 given H5414 to him that is in misery, H6001 and life H2416 unto the bitter H4751 in soul; H5315
21 Which long H2442 for death, H4194 but it cometh not; H369 and dig H2658 for it more than for hid treasures H4480 H4301 ;
22 Which rejoice H8056 exceedingly H413 H1524 , and are glad, H7797 when H3588 they can find H4672 the grave H6913 ?
23 Why is light given to a man H1397 whose H834 way H1870 is hid, H5641 and whom H1157 God H433 hath hedged in H5526 ?
24 For H3588 my sighing H585 cometh H935 before H6440 I eat, H3899 and my roarings H7581 are poured out H5413 like the waters. H4325
25 For H3588 the thing which I greatly feared H6343 H6342 is come upon H857 me , and that which H834 I was afraid of H3025 is come H935 unto me.
26 I was not H3808 in safety, H7951 neither H3808 had I rest, H8252 neither H3808 was I quiet; H5117 yet trouble H7267 came. H935
