Job 3

Verses of Job 3 of the NKJV 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 - And Job spoke, and said:
3 - "May the day perish on which I was born, And the night in which it was said, "A male child is conceived.'
4 - May that day be darkness; May God above not seek it, Nor the light shine upon it.
5 - May darkness and the shadow of death 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 - Oh, may that night be barren! May no joyful shout come into it!
8 - May those curse it who curse the day, Those who are ready to arouse Leviathan.
9 - May the stars of its morning be dark; May it look for light, but have none, And not see the dawning of the day;
10 - Because it did not shut up the doors of my mother's womb, Nor hide sorrow from my eyes.
11 - "Why did I not die at birth? Why did I not perish when I came from the womb?
12 - Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
13 - For now I would have lain still and been quiet, I would have been asleep; Then I would have been at rest
14 - With kings and counselors of the earth, Who built ruins for themselves,
15 - Or with princes who had gold, Who filled their houses with silver;
16 - Or why was I not hidden like a stillborn child, Like infants who never saw light?
17 - There the wicked cease from troubling, And there the weary are at rest.
18 - There the prisoners rest together; They do not hear the voice of the oppressor.
19 - The small and great are there, And the servant is free from his master.
20 - "Why is light given to him who is in misery, And life to the bitter of soul,
21 - Who long for death, but it does not come, And search for it more than hidden treasures;
22 - Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad when they can find the grave?
23 - Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, And whom God has hedged in?
24 - For my sighing comes before I eat, And my groanings pour out like water.
25 - For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me.
26 - I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, for trouble comes."
