1	After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
			2	And Job spake, and said,
			3	Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night it was said, There is a man child conceived.
			4	Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
			5	Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
			6	As 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.
			7	Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
			8	Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
			9	Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
			10	Because it shut not up the doors of my womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
			11	Why died I not from the womb? did I give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
			12	Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
			13	For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
			14	With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;
			15	Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
			16	Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants never saw light.
			17	There the wicked cease troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
			18	There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
			19	The small and great are there; and the servant free from his master.
			20	Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter soul;
			21	Which long for death, but it not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
			22	Which rejoice exceedingly, are glad, when they can find the grave?
			23	# Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
			24	For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
			25	For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
			26	I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
