| 3:1 | After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. |
| 3:2 | And Job spake, and said, |
| 3:3 | Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. |
| 3:4 | Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. |
| 3:5 | Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. |
| 3:6 | 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. |
| 3:7 | Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein. |
| 3:8 | Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. |
| 3:9 | 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: |
| 3:10 | Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. |
| 3:11 | Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? |
| 3:12 | Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? |
| 3:13 | For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, |
| 3:14 | With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves; |
| 3:15 | Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: |
| 3:16 | Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. |
| 3:17 | There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. |
| 3:18 | There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. |
| 3:19 | The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. |
| 3:20 | Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; |
| 3:20 | 受患難的人、為何有光賜給他呢．心中愁苦的人、為何有生命賜給他呢。 |
| 3:20 | 受患难的人，为何有光赐给他呢。心中愁苦的人，为何有生命赐给他呢。 |
| 1sa:1:10 | And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore. |
| 2ki:4:27 | And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. |
| job:7:11 | Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. |
| job:10:1 | My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. |
| pro:31:6 | Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. |
| COBL | |
| 3:21 | Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; |
| 3:22 | Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? |
| 3:23 | Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? |
| 3:24 | For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. |
| 3:25 | For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. |
| 3:26 | I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came. |
