Job 3:3-10

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

3“May the day on which I was to be born perish,
As well as the night which said, ‘A boy is conceived.’
4“May that day be darkness;
May God above not care for it,
Nor light shine on it.
5“May darkness and black gloom claim it;
May a cloud settle on it;
May the blackness of the day terrify it.
6“As for that night, may darkness seize it;
May it not rejoice among the days of the year;
May it not come into the number of the months.
7“Behold, may that night be barren;
May no joyful shout enter it.
8“May those curse it who curse the day,
Who are prepared to disturb Leviathan.
9“May the stars of its twilight be darkened;
May it wait for light but have none,
And may it not see the breaking dawn;
10Because it did not shut the opening of my mother’s womb,
Or hide trouble from my eyes.
