Chap. III.
Iob lamenteth, describing his owne, and the general calamities of man,
13. and shewing how escape manie miseries which either are nester borne
or dye presently after their borth.09Q0199
1 After these things Iob opened his mouth, and note cursed
his day,
2 and spake.
3 Perish may the day wherin I was
-- --
borne, and the night wherin it was sayd: A man is conceiued.
4 Be that day turned into darkenesse, God require it not from
aboue, and let it not be lightened with light.
5 Let darkenes,
and the shadow of death obscure it, let a mist possesse it, and
be it wrapped in bitternesse.
6 A darkesome hurle wind possesse
that night, be it not counted in the daies of the yeare,
nor numbred in the monethes.
7 Be that night solitarie, nor
prayse worthie.
8 Let them curse it which curse the day,
which are readie to raise vp Leuiathan.
9 Let the starres be
darkened with the mist therof: let it expect light and let it not
see, neither the rysing of the appearing morning.
10 Because
it shut not vp the doores of the wombe, that bare me, nor
tooke away euils from myne eies.
11 Why died I not in the
matrice, perished not forthwith being come forth of the
wombe?
12 Why receiued vpon the knees? why nurced with
the breastes?
13 For now sleping I should be quiet, and should
rest in my sleepe:
14 With kinges and consules of the earth,
which build themselues solitarie places:
15 Or with princes,
that possesse gold, and replenish their houses with siluer:
16 Or
as a thing vntimely borne that is hid I should not be, or as they
that being conceiued haue not seene the light.
17 There the
impious haue ceased from tumult, & there the wearied with
strength haue rested.
18 And they sometime bound together
without griefe, haue not heard the voyce of the exactor.
19 Litle and great are there, and the seruant free from his master.
20 Why is there light geuen to a miserable man, and life
to them, that are in bitternesse of soule?
21 That expect death,
and it cometh not, as they that dig vp treasure.
22 And they
reioyce excedingly when they haue found the graue.
23 To
a man whose life is hid, and God hath compassed him with
darkenes?
24 Before I eate I sigh: and as it were ouerflowing
waters so my roaring:
25 Because the feare which I feared,
hath chanced to me: and that which I was afrayd of, hath
happened.
26 haue I not dissembled? haue I not kept silence?
haue I not beene at ease? and indignation is come vpon me.
