[1]Afterward Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day. |
| [2][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[2]And Job cried out, and said, |
| [3][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[3]Let the day perish, wherein I was born, and the night when it was said, There is a man child conceived. |
| [4][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[4]Let that day be darkness, let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it, |
| [5][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[5]But let darkness, and the shadow of death stain it: let the cloud remain upon it, and let them make it fearful as a bitter day. |
| [6][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[6]Let darkness possess that night, let it not be joined unto the days of the year, nor let it come into the count of the months. |
| [7][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[7]Yea, desolate be that night, and let no joy be in it. |
| [8][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[8]Let them that curse the day, (being ready to renew their mourning) curse it. |
| [9][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[9]Let the stars of that twilight be dim through darkness of it: let it look for light, but have none: neither let it see the dawning of the day, |
| [10][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[10]Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb: nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. |
| [11][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[11]Why died I not in the birth? Or why died I not, when I came out of the womb? |
| [12][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[12]Why did the knees prevent me? And why did I suck the breasts? |
| [13][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[13]For so should I now have lain and been quiet, I should have slept then, and been at rest, |
| [14][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[14]With the kings and counselors of the earth, which have builded themselves desolate places: |
| [15][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[15]Or with the princes that had gold, and have filled their houses with silver. |
| [16][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[16]Or why was I not hid, as an untimely birth, either as infants, which have not seen the light? |
| [17][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[17]The wicked have there ceased from their tyranny, and there they that labored valiantly, are at rest. |
| [18][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[18]The prisoners rest together, and hear not the voice of the oppressor. |
| [19][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[19]There are small and great, and the servant is free from his master. |
| [20][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[20]Wherefore is the light given to him that is in misery? And life unto them that have heavy hearts? |
| [21][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[21]Which long for death, and if it come not, they would even search it more than treasures: |
| [22][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[22]Which joy for gladness, and rejoice, when they can find the grave. |
| [23][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[23]Why is the light given to the man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? |
| [24][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[24]For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the water. |
| [25][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[25]For the thing I feared, is come upon me, and the thing that I was afraid of, is come unto me. |
| [26][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[26]I had no peace, neither had I quietness, neither had I rest, yet trouble is come. |
