CHAP. III.
1 Iob curseth the day, and seruices of his birth.
13 The ease of death. 20 He complaineth
of life, because of his anguish.
1
After this, opened Iob his
mouth, and cursed his
day.
2
And Iob note spake,
and said,
3
noteLet the day perish, wherein I
was borne, and the night in which it was
said, There is a man-childe conceiued.
4
Let that day bee darkenesse, let
not God regard it from aboue, neither
let the light shine vpon it.
-- --
Iobs impatiencie is reprehended.
5
Let darkenes and the shadowe of
death note staine it, let a cloud dwell vpon
it, note let the blacknes of the day terrifie it.
6
As for that night, let darkenesse
seaze vpon it, note let it not be ioyned vnto
the dayes of the yeere, let it not come into
the number of the moneths.
7
Loe, let that night be solitarie, let
no ioyfull voice come therein.
8
Let them curse it that curse the
day, who are ready to raise vp note their
mourning.
9
Let the starres of the twilight
thereof be darke, let it looke for light,
but haue none, neither let it see note the dawning
of the day:
10
Because it shut not vp the doores
of my mothers wombe, nor hid sorrowe
from mine eyes.
11
Why died I not from the wombe?
why did I not giue vp the ghost when I
came out of the bellie?
12
Why did the knees preuent mee?
or why the breasts, that I should sucke?
13
For now should I haue lien still
and beene quiet, I should haue slept;
then had I bene at rest,
14
With Kings and counsellers of
the earth, which built desolate places
for themselues,
15
Or with Princes that had golde,
who filled their houses with siluer:
16
Or as an hidden vntimely birth,
I had not bene; as infants which neuer
saw light.
17
There the wicked cease from troubling:
and there the note wearie be at rest.
18
There the prisoners rest together,
they heare not the voice of the oppressour.
19
The small and great are there, and
the seruant is free from his master.
20
Wherefore is light giuen to him
that is in misery, and life vnto the bitter
in soule?
21
Which note long for death, but it commeth
not, and dig for it more then for hid
treasures:
22
Which reioice exceedingly, and are
glad when they can finde the graue?
23
Why is light giuen to a man, whose
way is hid, note and whom God hath hedged
in?
24
For my sighing commeth note before
I eate, and my roarings are powred
out like the waters.
25
For note the thing which I greatly
feared is come vpon me, and that which
I was afraid of, is come vnto me.
Iobs impatiencie is reprehended.
26
I was not in safetie, neither had
I rest, neither was I quiet: yet trouble
came.
