1	After this opened# Job his mouth, and cursed# his day.
			2	And Job spake# , and said# , [spake: Heb. answered]
			3	Let the day perish# wherein I was born# , and the night in which 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. [stain: or, challenge] [let the...: or, let them terrify it, as those who have a bitter day]
			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. [let it not be...: or, let it not rejoice among the days]
			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. [their...: or, leviathan]
			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: [the dawning...: Heb. the eyelids of the morning]
			10	Because it shut not up# the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid# sorrow from mine eyes.
			11	Why died# I not from the womb? why did I not 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 which never saw# light.
			17	There the wicked cease# from troubling; and there the weary# be at rest# . [weary: Heb. wearied in strength]
			18	There the prisoners rest# together; they hear# not the voice of the oppressor# .
			19	The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
			20	Wherefore is light given# to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
			21	Which long# for death, but it cometh not; and dig# for it more than for hid treasures; [long: Heb. wait]
			22	Which rejoice exceedingly, and 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. [I eat: Heb. my meat]
			25	For the thing which I greatly feared# is come# upon me, and that which I was afraid# of is come# unto me. [the thing...: Heb. I feared a fear, and it came upon me]
			26	I was not in safety# , neither had I rest# , neither was I quiet# ; yet trouble came# .
