| 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; |
| 3:21 | 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. |
| 3:24 | 我未曾喫飯、就發出歎息、我唉哼的聲音湧出如水。 |
| 3:24 | 我未曾吃饭就发出叹息。我唉哼的声音涌出如水。 |
| psm:42:3 | My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? |
| psm:80:5 | Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. |
| psm:102:9 | For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping, |
| psm:31:10 | For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed. |
| psm:38:9 | Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. |
| psm:6:6 | I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. |
| psm:22:1 | My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? |
| psm:32:3 | When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. |
| psm:38:8 | I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. |
| COBL | |
| 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. |
