After ³¹⁰ this opened ^{6605 , 8804} Job ³⁴⁷ his mouth ⁶³¹⁰ , and cursed ^{7043 , 8762} his day ³¹¹⁷ .

And Job ³⁴⁷ spake ^{6030 , 8799} , and said ^{559 , 8799} , [spake: Heb. answered]

Let that day ³¹¹⁷ be darkness ²⁸²² ; let not God ⁴³³ regard ^{1875 , 8799} it from above ⁴⁶⁰⁵ , neither let the light ⁵¹⁰⁵ shine ^{3313 , 8686} upon it.

Let darkness ²⁸²² and the shadow of death ⁶⁷⁵⁷ stain ^{1350 , 8799} it; let a cloud ⁶⁰⁵³ dwell ^{7931 , 8799} upon it; let the blackness ³⁶⁵⁰ of the day ³¹¹⁷ terrify ^{1204 , 8762} it. [stain: or, challenge] [let the...: or, let them terrify it, as those who have a bitter day]

As for that night ³⁹¹⁵ , let darkness ⁶⁵² seize ^{3947 , 8799} upon it; let it not be joined ^{2302 , 8799} unto the days ³¹¹⁷ of the year ⁸¹⁴¹ , let it not come ^{935 , 8799} into the number ⁴⁵⁵⁷ of the months ³³⁹¹ . [let it not be...: or, let it not rejoice among the days]

Lo, let that night ³⁹¹⁵ be solitary ¹⁵⁶⁵ , let no joyful voice ⁷⁴⁴⁵ come ^{935 , 8799} therein.

Let them curse ^{5344 , 8799} it that curse ^{779 , 8802} the day ³¹¹⁷ , who are ready ⁶²⁶⁴ to raise up ^{5782 , 8788} their mourning ³⁸⁸² . [their...: or, leviathan]

Let the stars ³⁵⁵⁶ of the twilight ⁵³⁹⁹ thereof be dark ^{2821 , 8799} ; let it look ^{6960 , 8762} for light ²¹⁶ , but have none; neither let it see ^{7200 , 8799} the dawning ⁶⁰⁷⁹ of the day ⁷⁸³⁷ : [the dawning...: Heb. the eyelids of the morning]

Because it shut not up ^{5462 , 8804} the doors ¹⁸¹⁷ of my mother's womb ⁹⁹⁰ , nor hid ^{5641 , 8686} sorrow ⁵⁹⁹⁹ from mine eyes ⁵⁸⁶⁹ .

Why died ^{4191 , 8799} I not from the womb ⁷³⁵⁸ ? why did I not give up the ghost ^{1478 , 8799} when I came out ^{3318 , 8804} of the belly ⁹⁹⁰ ?

Why did the knees ¹²⁹⁰ prevent ^{6923 , 8765} me? or why the breasts ⁷⁶⁹⁹ that I should suck ^{3243 , 8799} ?

For now should I have lain still ^{7901 , 8804} and been quiet ^{8252 , 8799} , I should have slept ^{3462 , 8804} : then had I been at rest ^{5117 , 8799} ,

With kings ⁴⁴²⁸ and counsellors ^{3289 , 8802} of the earth ⁷⁷⁶ , which built ^{1129 , 8802} desolate places ²⁷²³ for themselves;

Or with princes ⁸²⁶⁹ that had gold ²⁰⁹¹ , who filled ^{4390 , 8764} their houses ¹⁰⁰⁴ with silver ³⁷⁰¹ :

Or as an hidden ^{2934 , 8803} untimely birth ⁵³⁰⁹ I had not been; as infants ⁵⁷⁶⁸ which never saw ^{7200 , 8804} light ²¹⁶ .

There the wicked ⁷⁵⁶³ cease ^{2308 , 8804} from troubling ⁷²⁶⁷ ; and there the weary ^{3019 , 3581} be at rest ^{5117 , 8799} . [weary: Heb. wearied in strength]

There the prisoners ⁶¹⁵ rest ^{7599 , 8768} together ³¹⁶² ; they hear ^{8085 , 8804} not the voice ⁶⁹⁶³ of the oppressor ^{5065 , 8802} .

The small ⁶⁹⁹⁶ and great ¹⁴¹⁹ are there; and the servant ⁵⁶⁵⁰ is free ²⁶⁷⁰ from his master ¹¹³ .

Wherefore is light ²¹⁶ given ^{5414 , 8799} to him that is in misery ⁶⁰⁰¹ , and life ²⁴¹⁶ unto the bitter ⁴⁷⁵¹ in soul ⁵³¹⁵ ;

Which long ^{2442 , 8764} for death ⁴¹⁹⁴ , but it cometh not; and dig ^{2658 , 8799} for it more than for hid treasures ⁴³⁰¹ ; [long: Heb. wait]

Which rejoice ⁸⁰⁵⁶ exceedingly ¹⁵²⁴ , and are glad ^{7797 , 8799} , when they can find ^{4672 , 8799} the grave ⁶⁹¹³ ?

Why is light given to a man ¹³⁹⁷ whose way ¹⁸⁷⁰ is hid ^{5641 , 8738} , and whom God ⁴³³ hath hedged in ^{5526 , 8686} ?

For my sighing ⁵⁸⁵ cometh ^{935 , 8799} before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ I eat ³⁸⁹⁹ , and my roarings ⁷⁵⁸¹ are poured out ^{5413 , 8799} like the waters ⁴³²⁵ . [I eat: Heb. my meat]

For the thing which I greatly ⁶³⁴³ feared ^{6342 , 8804} is come ^{857 , 8799} upon me, and that which I was afraid ^{3025 , 8804} of is come ^{935 , 8799} unto me. [the thing...: Heb. I feared a fear, and it came upon me]

I was not in safety ^{7951 , 8804} , neither had I rest ^{8252 , 8804} , neither was I quiet ^{5117 , 8804} ; yet trouble ⁷²⁶⁷ came ^{935 , 8799} .
