- After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.
- 2
- And Job said:
- 3
- “Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night that said, ‘A man is conceived.’
- 4
- Let that day be darkness! May God above not seek it, nor light shine upon it.
- 5
- Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
- 6
- That night—let thick darkness seize it! Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.
- 7
- Behold, let that night be barren; let no joyful cry enter it.
- 8
- Let those curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up Leviathan.
- 9
- Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light, but have none, nor see the eyelids of the morning,
- 10
- because it did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb, nor hide trouble from my eyes.
- 11
- “Why did I not die at birth, come out from the womb and expire?
- 12
- Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
- 13
- For then I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept; then I would have been at rest,
- 14
- with kings and counselors of the earth who rebuilt ruins for themselves,
- 15
- or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver.
- 16
- Or why was I not as a hidden stillborn child, as infants who never see the light?
- 17
- There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest.
- 18
- There the prisoners are at ease together; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
- 19
- The small and the great are there, and the slave is free from his master.
- 20
- “Why is light given to him who is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul,
- 21
- who long for death, but it comes not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
- 22
- who rejoice exceedingly and are glad when they find the grave?
- 23
- Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
- 24
- For my sighing comes instead of my bread, and my groanings are poured out like water.
- 25
- For the thing that I fear comes upon me, and what I dread befalls me.
- 26
- I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, but trouble comes.”
