Editing Job 3

* [[Job 3:1|1]] After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

* [[Job 3:2|2]] And Job spake, and said,

* [[Job 3:3|3]] Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.

* [[Job 3:4|4]] Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

* [[Job 3:5|5]] Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

* [[Job 3:6|6]] As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.

* [[Job 3:7|7]] Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.

* [[Job 3:8|8]] Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.

* [[Job 3:9|9]] Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

* [[Job 3:10|10]] Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.

* [[Job 3:11|11]] Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?

* [[Job 3:12|12]] Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?

* [[Job 3:13|13]] For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

* [[Job 3:14|14]] With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves;

* [[Job 3:15|15]] Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:

* [[Job 3:16|16]] Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.

* [[Job 3:17|17]] There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.

* [[Job 3:18|18]] There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.

* [[Job 3:19|19]] The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.

* [[Job 3:20|20]] Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;

* [[Job 3:21|21]] Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;

* [[Job 3:22|22]] Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?

* [[Job 3:23|23]] Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

* [[Job 3:24|24]] For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.

* [[Job 3:25|25]] For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

* [[Job 3:26|26]] I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
