Job 3

Verses of Job 3 of the NIV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.
2 - He said:
3 - "May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said, 'A boy is born!'
4 - That day-may it turn to darkness; may God above not care about it; may no light shine upon it.
5 - May darkness and deep shadow claim it once more; may a cloud settle over it; may blackness overwhelm its light.
6 - That night-may thick darkness seize it; may it not be included among the days of the year nor be entered in any of the months.
7 - May that night be barren; may no shout of joy be heard in it.
8 - May those who curse days curse that day, those who are ready to rouse Leviathan.
9 - May its morning stars become dark; may it wait for daylight in vain and not see the first rays of dawn,
10 - for it did not shut the doors of the womb on me to hide trouble from my eyes.
11 - "Why did I not perish at birth, and die as I came from the womb?
12 - Why were there knees to receive me and breasts that I might 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 places now lying in ruins,
15 - with rulers who had gold, who filled their houses with silver.
16 - Or why was I not hidden in the ground like a stillborn child, like an infant who never saw the light of day?
17 - There the wicked cease from turmoil, and there the weary are at rest.
18 - Captives also enjoy their ease; they no longer hear the slave driver's shout.
19 - The small and the great are there, and the slave is freed from his master.
20 - "Why is light given to those in misery, and life to the bitter of soul,
21 - to those who long for death that does not come, who search for it more than for hidden treasure,
22 - who are filled with gladness and rejoice when they reach the grave?
23 - Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
24 - For sighing comes to me instead of food; my groans pour out like water.
25 - What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me.
26 - I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil."
