1<\/sup>After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day,<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>and he said:<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said: A man child is conceived.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>Let that day be turned into darkness, let not God regard it from above, and let not the light shine upon it.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>Let darkness, and the shadow of death cover it, let a mist overspread it, and let it be wrapped up in bitterness.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>Let a darksome whirlwind seize upon that night, let it not be counted in the days of the year, nor numbered in the months.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Let that night be solitary, and not worthy of praise.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>Let them curse it who curse the day. who are ready to raise up a leviathan:<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>Let the stars be darkened with the mist thereof: let it expect light and not see it, nor the rising of the dawning of the day:<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, nor took away evils from my eyes.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>Why did I not die in the womb, why did I not perish when I came out of the belly?<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>Why received upon the knees? why suckled at the breasts ?<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>For now I should have been asleep and still, and should have rest in my sleep.<\/span> <\/p>\n 14<\/sup>With kings and consuls of the earth, who build themselves solitudes:<\/span> <\/p>\n 15<\/sup>Or with princes, that possess gold, and All their houses with silver:<\/span> <\/p>\n 16<\/sup>Or as a hidden untimely birth I should not be, or as they that being conceived have not seen the light.<\/span> <\/p>\n 17<\/sup>There the wicked cease from tumult, and there the wearied in strength are at rest.<\/span> <\/p>\n 18<\/sup>And they sometime bound together without disquiet, have not heard the voice of the oppressor.<\/span> <\/p>\n 19<\/sup>The small and great are there, and the servant is free from his master.<\/span> <\/p>\n 20<\/sup>Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to them that are in bitterness of soul?<\/span> <\/p>\n 21<\/sup>That look for death, and it cometh not, as they that dig for a treasure:<\/span> <\/p>\n 22<\/sup>And they rejoice exceedingly when they have found the grave.<\/span> <\/p>\n 23<\/sup>To a man whose way is hidden, and God hath surrounded him with darkness?<\/span> <\/p>\n 24<\/sup>Before I eat I sigh: and as overflowing waters, so is my roaring:<\/span> <\/p>\n 25<\/sup>For the fear which I feared hath come upon me: and that which I was afraid of, hath befallen me.<\/span> <\/p>\n 26<\/sup>Have I not dissembled ? have I not kept silence ? have I not been quiet? and indignation is come upon me.<\/span> <\/p>\n
