Job 3

About Job Job wrestles with why the righteous suffer, through Job's losses, his friends' arguments and God's answer.

After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.SelectedJob 3:1Ask

And Job spake, and said,SelectedJob 3:2Ask

Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.SelectedJob 3:3Ask

Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.SelectedJob 3:4Ask

Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.SelectedJob 3:5Ask

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.SelectedJob 3:6Ask

Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.SelectedJob 3:7Ask

Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.SelectedJob 3:8Ask

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:SelectedJob 3:9Ask

Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.SelectedJob 3:10Ask

Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?SelectedJob 3:11Ask

Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?SelectedJob 3:12Ask

For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,SelectedJob 3:13Ask

With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;SelectedJob 3:14Ask

Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:SelectedJob 3:15Ask

Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.SelectedJob 3:16Ask

There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.SelectedJob 3:17Ask

There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.SelectedJob 3:18Ask

The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.SelectedJob 3:19Ask

Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;SelectedJob 3:20Ask

Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;SelectedJob 3:21Ask

Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?SelectedJob 3:22Ask

Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?SelectedJob 3:23Ask

For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.SelectedJob 3:24Ask

For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.SelectedJob 3:25Ask

I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.SelectedJob 3:26Ask
