Job Laments His Birth
|
||||
|
||||
# Chapter 3
|
||||
1. After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.
|
||||
2. And Job said:
|
||||
|
||||
3. "Let the day perish on which I was born,
|
||||
and the night that said,
|
||||
'A man is conceived.'
|
||||
|
||||
4. Let that day be darkness!
|
||||
May God above not seek it,
|
||||
nor light shine upon it.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Let gloom and deep darkness claim it.
|
||||
Let clouds dwell upon it;
|
||||
let the blackness of the day terrify it.
|
||||
|
||||
6. That night--let thick darkness seize it!
|
||||
Let it not rejoice among the days of the year;
|
||||
let it not come into the number of the months.
|
||||
|
||||
7. Behold, let that night be barren;
|
||||
let no joyful cry enter it.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Let those curse it who curse the day,
|
||||
who are ready to rouse up Leviathan.
|
||||
|
||||
9. Let the stars of its dawn be dark;
|
||||
let it hope for light, but have none,
|
||||
nor see the eyelids of the morning,
|
||||
|
||||
10. because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb,
|
||||
nor hide trouble from my eyes.
|
||||
|
||||
11. "Why did I not die at birth,
|
||||
come out from the womb and expire?
|
||||
|
||||
12. Why did the knees receive me?
|
||||
Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
|
||||
|
||||
13. For then I would have lain down and been quiet;
|
||||
I would have slept; then I would have been at rest,
|
||||
|
||||
14. with kings and counselors of the earth
|
||||
who rebuilt ruins for themselves,
|
||||
|
||||
15. or with princes who had gold,
|
||||
who filled their houses with silver.
|
||||
|
||||
16. Or why was I not as a hidden stillborn child,
|
||||
as infants who never see the light?
|
||||
|
||||
17. There the wicked cease from troubling,
|
||||
and there the weary are at rest.
|
||||
|
||||
18. There the prisoners are at ease together;
|
||||
they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
|
||||
|
||||
19. The small and the great are there,
|
||||
and the slave is free from his master.
|
||||
|
||||
20. "Why is light given to him who is in misery,
|
||||
and life to the bitter in soul,
|
||||
|
||||
21. who long for death, but it comes not,
|
||||
and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
|
||||
|
||||
22. who rejoice exceedingly
|
||||
and are glad when they find the grave?
|
||||
|
||||
23. Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,
|
||||
whom God has hedged in?
|
||||
|
||||
24. For my sighing comes instead of my bread,
|
||||
and my groanings are poured out like water.
|
||||
|
||||
25. For the thing that I fear comes upon me,
|
||||
and what I dread befalls me.
|
||||
|
||||
26. I am not at ease, nor am I quiet;
|
||||
I have no rest, but trouble comes."
