[1]After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. |
| [2][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[2]And Job spake, and said, |
| [3][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[3]Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which 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]Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. |
| [6][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[6]As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months. |
| [7][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[7]Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein. |
| [8][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[8]Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. |
| [9][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[9]Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; 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 from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? |
| [12][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[12]Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? |
| [13][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[13]For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, |
| [14][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[14]With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves; |
| [15][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[15]Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: |
| [16][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[16]Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. |
| [17][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[17]There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. |
| [18][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[18]There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. |
| [19][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[19]The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. |
| [20][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[20]Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; |
| [21][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[21]Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; |
| [22][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[22]Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? |
| [23][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[23]Why is light given to a 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 waters. |
| [25][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[25]For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. |
| [26][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[26]I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came. |
