[1]AfterH310 this openedH6605[H8804] JobH347 his mouthH6310, and cursedH7043[H8762] his dayH3117. |
| [2][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[2]And JobH347 spakeH6030[H8799], H559and saidH8799 |
| [3][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[3]Let the dayH3117 perishH6[H8799] wherein I was bornH3205[H8735], and the nightH3915 in which it was saidH559[H8804], There is a man childH1397 conceivedH2029.[H8795] |
| [4][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[4]Let that dayH3117 be darknessH2822; let not GodH433 regardH1875[H8799] it from aboveH4605, neither let the lightH5105 shineH3313 upon itH8686. |
| [5][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[5]Let darknessH2822 and the shadow of deathH6757 stainH1350[H8799] it; let a cloudH6053 dwellH7931[H8799] upon it; let the blacknessH3650 of the dayH3117 terrifyH1204 itH8762. |
| [6][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[6]As for that nightH3915, let darknessH652 seizeH3947[H8799] upon it; let it not be joinedH2302[H8799] unto the daysH3117 of the yearH8141, let it not comeH935[H8799] into the numberH4557 of the monthsH3391. |
| [7][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[7]Lo, let that nightH3915 be solitaryH1565, let no joyful voiceH7445 comeH935 thereinH8799. |
| [8][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[8]Let them curseH5344[H8799] it that curseH779[H8802] the dayH3117, who are readyH6264 to raise upH5782[H8788] their mourningH3882. |
| [9][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[9]Let the starsH3556 of the twilightH5399 thereof be darkH2821[H8799]; let it lookH6960[H8762] for lightH216, but have none; neither let it seeH7200[H8799] the dawningH6079 of the dayH7837: |
| [10][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[10]Because it shut not upH5462[H8804] the doorsH1817 of my mother's wombH990, nor hidH5641[H8686] sorrowH5999 from mine eyesH5869. |
| [11][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[11]Why diedH4191[H8799] I not from the wombH7358? why did I not give up the ghostH1478[H8799] when I came outH3318[H8804] of the bellyH990? |
| [12][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[12]Why did the kneesH1290 preventH6923[H8765] me? or why the breastsH7699 that I should suckH3243?[H8799] |
| [13][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[13]For now should I have lain stillH7901[H8804] and been quietH8252[H8799], I should have sleptH3462[H8804]: H5117then had I been at restH8799 |
| [14][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[14]With kingsH4428 and counsellorsH3289[H8802] of the earthH776, which builtH1129[H8802] desolate places for themselvesH2723; |
| [15][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[15]Or with princesH8269 that had goldH2091, who filledH4390[H8764] their housesH1004 with silverH3701: |
| [16][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[16]Or as an hiddenH2934[H8803] untimely birthH5309 I had not been; as infantsH5768 which never sawH7200[H8804] lightH216. |
| [17][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[17]There the wickedH7563 ceaseH2308[H8804] from troublingH7267; and there the wearyH3019[H3581] be at restH5117.[H8799] |
| [18][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[18]There the prisonersH615 restH7599[H8768] togetherH3162; they hearH8085[H8804] not the voiceH6963 of the oppressorH5065.[H8802] |
| [19][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[19]The smallH6996 and greatH1419 are there; and the servantH5650 is freeH2670 from his masterH113. |
| [20][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[20]Wherefore is lightH216 givenH5414[H8799] to him that is in miseryH6001, and lifeH2416 unto the bitterH4751 in soulH5315; |
| [21][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[21]Which longH2442[H8764] for deathH4194, but it cometh not; and digH2658[H8799] for it more than for hid treasuresH4301; |
| [22][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[22]Which rejoiceH8056 exceedinglyH1524, and are gladH7797[H8799], when they can findH4672[H8799] the graveH6913? |
| [23][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[23]Why is light given to a manH1397 whose wayH1870 is hidH5641[H8738], and whom GodH433 hath hedged inH5526?[H8686] |
| [24][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[24]For my sighingH585 comethH935[H8799] beforeH6440 I eatH3899, and my roaringsH7581 are poured outH5413[H8799] like the watersH4325. |
| [25][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[25]For the thing which I greatlyH6343 fearedH6342[H8804] is comeH857[H8799] upon me, and that which I was afraidH3025[H8804] of is comeH935 unto meH8799. |
| [26][[Verse missing from this copy]] |
[26]I was not in safetyH7951[H8804], neither had I restH8252[H8804], neither was I quietH5117[H8804]; yet troubleH7267 cameH935.[H8799] |
