1 -After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.
2 -And this is what he said:
3 -“May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said, ‘A boy is conceived.’
4 -If only that day had turned to darkness! May God above disregard it; may no light shine upon it.
5 -May darkness and gloom reclaim it, and a cloud settle over it; may the blackness of the day overwhelm it.
6 -If only darkness had taken that night away! May it not appear among the days of the year; may it never be entered in any of the months.
7 -Behold, may that night be barren; may no joyful voice come into it.
8 -May it be cursed by those who curse the day—those prepared to rouse Leviathan.
9 -May its morning stars grow dark; may it wait in vain for daylight; may it not see the breaking of dawn.
10 -For that night did not shut the doors of the womb to hide the sorrow from my eyes.
11 -Why did I not perish at birth; why did I not die as I came from the womb?
12 -Why were there knees to receive me, and breasts that I should be nursed?
13 -For now I would be lying down in peace; I would be asleep and at rest
14 -with kings and counselors of the earth, who built for themselves cities now in ruins,
15 -or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver.
16 -Or why was I not hidden like a stillborn child, like an infant who never sees daylight?
17 -There the wicked cease from raging, and there the weary find rest.
18 -The captives enjoy their ease; they do not hear the voice of the oppressor.
19 -Both small and great are there, and the slave is freed from his master.
20 -Why is light given to the miserable, and life to the bitter of soul,
21 -who long for death that does not come, and search for it like hidden treasure,
22 -who rejoice and greatly exult when they can find the grave?
23 -Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
24 -I sigh when food is put before me, and my groans pour out like water.
25 -For the thing I feared has overtaken me, and what I dreaded has befallen me.
26 -I am not at ease or quiet; I have no rest, for trouble has come.”
(Berean Standard Bible)
