AfterH310 this openedH6605 JobH347 his mouthH6310, and cursedH7043 his dayH3117.
And JobH347 spakeH6030, and saidH559, {spake: Heb. answered}
Let the dayH3117 perishH6 wherein I was bornH3205, and the nightH3915 in which it was saidH559, There is a man childH1397 conceivedH2029.
Let that dayH3117 be darknessH2822; let not GodH433 regardH1875 it from aboveH4605, neither let the lightH5105 shineH3313 upon it.
Let darknessH2822 and the shadow of deathH6757 stainH1350 it; let a cloudH6053 dwellH7931 upon it; let the blacknessH3650 of the dayH3117 terrifyH1204 it. {stain: or, challenge} {let the…: or, let them terrify it, as those who have a bitter day}
As for that nightH3915, let darknessH652 seizeH3947 upon it; let it not be joinedH2302 unto the daysH3117 of the yearH8141, let it not comeH935 into the numberH4557 of the monthsH3391. {let it not be…: or, let it not rejoice among the days}
Lo, let that nightH3915 be solitaryH1565, let no joyful voiceH7445 comeH935 therein.
Let them curseH5344 it that curseH779 the dayH3117, who are readyH6264 to raise upH5782 their mourningH3882. {their…: or, leviathan}
Let the starsH3556 of the twilightH5399 thereof be darkH2821; let it lookH6960 for lightH216, but have none; neither let it seeH7200 the dawningH6079 of the dayH7837: {the dawning…: Heb. the eyelids of the morning}
Because it shut not upH5462 the doorsH1817 of my mother's wombH990, nor hidH5641 sorrowH5999 from mine eyesH5869.
Why diedH4191 I not from the wombH7358? why did I not give up the ghostH1478 when I came outH3318 of the bellyH990?
Why did the kneesH1290 preventH6923 me? or why the breastsH7699 that I should suckH3243?
For now should I have lain stillH7901 and been quietH8252, I should have sleptH3462: then had I been at restH5117,
With kingsH4428 and counsellorsH3289 of the earthH776, which builtH1129 desolate placesH2723 for themselves;
Or with princesH8269 that had goldH2091, who filledH4390 their housesH1004 with silverH3701:
Or as an hiddenH2934 untimely birthH5309 I had not been; as infantsH5768 which never sawH7200 lightH216.
There the wickedH7563 ceaseH2308 from troublingH7267; and there the wearyH3019+H3581 be at restH5117. {weary: Heb. wearied in strength}
There the prisonersH615 restH7599 togetherH3162; they hearH8085 not the voiceH6963 of the oppressorH5065.
The smallH6996 and greatH1419 are there; and the servantH5650 is freeH2670 from his masterH113.
Wherefore is lightH216 givenH5414 to him that is in miseryH6001, and lifeH2416 unto the bitterH4751 in soulH5315;
Which longH2442 for deathH4194, but it cometh not; and digH2658 for it more than for hid treasuresH4301; {long: Heb. wait}
Which rejoiceH8056 exceedinglyH1524, and are gladH7797, when they can findH4672 the graveH6913?
Why is light given to a manH1397 whose wayH1870 is hidH5641, and whom GodH433 hath hedged inH5526?
For my sighingH585 comethH935 beforeH6440 I eatH3899, and my roaringsH7581 are poured outH5413 like the watersH4325. {I eat: Heb. my meat}
For the thing which I greatlyH6343 fearedH6342 is comeH857 upon me, and that which I was afraidH3025 of is comeH935 unto me. {the thing…: Heb. I feared a fear, and it came upon me}
I was not in safetyH7951, neither had I restH8252, neither was I quietH5117; yet troubleH7267 cameH935.

When I lookedH6960 for goodH2896, then evilH7451 cameH935 unto me: and when I waitedH3176 for lightH216, there cameH935 darknessH652.
By his neesingsH5846 a lightH216 doth shineH1984, and his eyesH5869 are like the eyelidsH6079 of the morningH7837.
