And Jobº
spake,ºº
and said,ºº |
|
3:3
Let the day perish wherein I was born, And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived. |
|
3:3
Let the dayº
perishºº
wherein I was born,ºº
and the nightº
[in which] it was said,ºº
There is a man childº
conceived.ºº |
|
3:4
Let that day be darkness; Let not God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine upon it. |
|
3:4
Let thatº
dayº
beº
darkness;º
let notº
Godº
regardºº
it from above,ºº
neitherº
let the lightº
shineºº
uponº
it. |
|
3:5
Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it. |
|
3:5
Let darknessº
and the shadow of deathº
stainºº
it; let a cloudº
dwellºº
uponº
it; let the blacknessº
of the dayº
terrifyºº
it. |
|
3:6
As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it: Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months. |
|
3:6
As [for] thatº
night,º
let darknessº
seizeºº
uponº
it; let it notº
be joinedºº
unto the daysº
of the year,º
let it notº
comeºº
into the numberº
of the months.º |
|
3:7
Lo, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come therein. |
|
3:7
Lo,º
let thatº
nightº

Let them curse it that curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan. |
|
3:8
Let them curseºº
it that curseºº
the day,º
who are readyº
to raise upºº
their mourning.º |
|
3:9
Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark: Let it look for light, but have none; Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning: |
|
3:9
Let the starsº
of the twilightº
thereof be dark;ºº
let it lookºº
for light,º
but [have] none;º
neitherº
let it seeºº
the dawningº
of the day:º |
|
3:10
Because it shut not up the doors of my [mother's] womb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes. |
|
3:10
Becauseº
it shut not upººº
the doorsº
of my [mother's] womb,º
nor hidºº
sorrowº
from mine eyes.ºº |
|
3:11
Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me? |
|
3:11
Whyº
diedºº
I notº
from the womb?ºº
[why] did I [not] give up the ghostºº
when I came outºº
of the belly?ºº |
|
3:12
Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should suck? |
|
3:12
Whyº
did the kneesº
preventºº
me? or whyº
the breastsº
thatº
I should suck?ºº |
|
3:13
For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest, |
|
3:13
Forº
nowº
should I have lain stillºº
and been quiet,ºº
I should have slept:ºº
thenº
had I been at rest,ºº |
|
3:14
With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves; |
|
3:14
Withº
kingsº
and counsellorsºº
of the earth,º
which builtºº
desolate placesº
for themselves; |
|
3:15
Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver: |
|
3:15
Orº
withº
princesº
that had gold,º
who filledºº
their housesº
with silver:º |
|
3:16
Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light. |
|
3:16
Orº
as an hiddenºº
untimely birthº
I had notº
been;º
as infantsº
[which] neverº

light.º |

3:17
There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary are at rest. |
|
3:17
Thereº
the wickedº
ceaseºº
[from] troubling;º

There the prisoners are at ease together; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster. |
|
3:18
[There] the prisonersº
restºº
together;º
they hearºº
notº
the voiceº
of the oppressor.ºº |
|

The small and the great are there: And the servant is free from his master. |
|
3:19
The smallº
and greatº

Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul; |
|
3:20
Whereforeº
is lightº
givenºº
to him that is in misery,º
and lifeº
unto the bitterº
[in] soul;º |
|
3:21
Who long for death, but it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures; |
|
3:21
Which longºº
for death,º
but it [cometh] not;º
and digºº
for it more than for hid treasures;ºº |
|
3:22
Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad, when they can find the grave? |
|
3:22
Which rejoiceº
exceedingly,ºº
[and] are glad,ºº
whenº
they can findºº
the grave?º |
|
3:23
[Why is light given] to a man whose way is hid, And whom God hath hedged in? |
|
3:23
[Why is light given] to a manº
whoseº
wayº
is hid,ºº
and whomº
Godº
hath hedged in?ºº |
|
3:24
For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groanings are poured out like water. |
|
3:24
Forº
my sighingº
comethºº
beforeº
I eat,º
and my roaringsº
are poured outºº
like the waters.º |
|
3:25
For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me. |
|
3:25
Forº
the thing which I greatlyº
fearedººº
is comeºº
uponº
me, and that whichº
I was afraidºº
ofº
is comeºº
unto me. |
|
3:26
I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble cometh. |
|
3:26
I was notº
in safety,ºº
neitherº
had I rest,ºº
neitherº
was I quiet;ºº
yet troubleº
came.ºº |
