[1] After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth. [2] Job answered:
[3] “Let the day perish in which I was born,
the night which said, ‘There is a boy conceived.’
[4] Let that day be darkness.
Don’t let God from above seek for it,
neither let the light shine on it.
[5] Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own.
Let a cloud dwell on it.
Let all that makes the day black terrify it.
[6] As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it.
Let it not rejoice among the days of the year.
Let it not come into the number of the months.
[7] Behold, let that night be barren.
Let no joyful voice come therein.
[8] Let them curse it who curse the day,
who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
[9] Let the stars of its twilight be dark.
Let it look for light, but have none,
neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,
[10] because it didn’t shut up the doors of my mother’s womb,
nor did it hide trouble from my eyes. [11] “Why didn’t I die from the womb?
Why didn’t I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?
[12] Why did the knees receive me?
Or why the breast, that I should nurse?
[13] For now I should have lain down and been quiet.
I should have slept, then I would have been at rest,
[14] with kings and counselors of the earth,
who built up waste places for themselves;
[15] or with princes who had gold,
who filled their houses with silver;
[16] or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been,
as infants who never saw light.
[17] There the wicked cease from troubling.
There the weary are at rest.
[18] There the prisoners are at ease together.
They don’t hear the voice of the taskmaster.
[19] The small and the great are there.
The servant is free from his master. [20] “Why is light given to him who is in misery,
life to the bitter in soul,
[21] who long for death, but it doesn’t come;
and dig for it more than for 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,
whom God has hedged in?
[24] For my sighing comes before I eat.
My groanings are poured out like water.
[25] For the thing which I fear comes on me,
that which I am afraid of comes to me.
[26] I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither do I have rest;
but trouble comes.”
[3] “Let the day perish in which I was born,
the night which said, ‘There is a boy conceived.’
[4] Let that day be darkness.
Don’t let God from above seek for it,
neither let the light shine on it.
[5] Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own.
Let a cloud dwell on it.
Let all that makes the day black terrify it.
[6] As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it.
Let it not rejoice among the days of the year.
Let it not come into the number of the months.
[7] Behold, let that night be barren.
Let no joyful voice come therein.
[8] Let them curse it who curse the day,
who are ready to rouse up leviathan.

[10] because it didn’t shut up the doors of my mother’s womb,

King James Version
[1] AfterH310 this openedH6605(QalPerf) JobH347 his mouth,H6310 and cursedH7043(PielImpf) his day.H3117 [2] And JobH347 spake,H6030(QalImpf) and said,H559(QalImpf) [3] Let the dayH3117 perishH6(QalImpf) wherein I was born,H3205(NiphImpf) and the nightH3915 [in which] it was said,H559(QalPerf) There is a man childH1397 conceived.H2029(PualPerf) [4] Let that dayH3117 be darkness;H2822 let not GodH433 regardH1875(QalImpf) it from above,H4605 neither let the lightH5105 shineH3313(HiphImpf) upon it. [5] Let darknessH2822 and the shadow of deathH6757 stainH1350(QalImpf) it; let a cloudH6053 dwellH7931(QalImpf) upon it; let the blacknessH3650 of the dayH3117 terrifyH1204(PielImpf) it. [6] As [for] that night,H3915 let darknessH652 seizeH3947(QalImpf) upon it; let it not be joinedH2302(QalImpf) unto the daysH3117 of the year,H8141 let it not comeH935(QalImpf) into the numberH4557 of the months.H3391 [7] Lo, let that nightH3915 be solitary,H1565 let no joyful voiceH7445 comeH935(QalImpf) therein. [8] Let them curseH5344(QalImpf) it that curseH779(QalActPtc) the day,H3117 who are readyH6264 to raise upH5782(PoleInf) their mourning.H3882 [9] Let the starsH3556 of the twilightH5399 thereof be dark;H2821(QalImpf) let it lookH6960(PielImpf) for light,H216 but [have] none; neither let it seeH7200(QalImpf) the dawningH6079 of the day:H7837 [10] Because it shut not upH5462(QalPerf) the doorsH1817 of my [mother’s] womb,H990 nor hidH5641(HiphImpf) sorrowH5999 from mine eyes.H5869 [11] Why diedH4191(QalImpf) I not from the womb?H7358 [why] did I [not] give up the ghostH1478(QalImpf) when I came outH3318(QalPerf) of the belly?H990 [12] Why did the kneesH1290 preventH6923(PielPerf) me? or why the breastsH7699 that I should suck?H3243(QalImpf) [13] For now should I have lain stillH7901(QalPerf) and been quiet,H8252(QalImpf) I should have slept:H3462(QalPerf) then had I been at rest,H5117(QalImpf) [14] With kingsH4428 and counsellorsH3289(QalActPtc) of the earth,H776 which builtH1129(QalActPtc) desolate placesH2723 for themselves; [15] Or with princesH8269 that had gold,H2091 who filledH4390(PielPtc) their housesH1004 with silver:H3701 [16] Or as an hiddenH2934(QalPasPtc) untimely birthH5309 I had not been; as infantsH5768 [which] never sawH7200(QalPerf) light.H216 [17] There the wickedH7563 ceaseH2308(QalPerf) [from] troubling;H7267 and there the wearyH3019 be at rest.H5117(QalImpf) [18] [There] the prisonersH615 restH7599(PilePerf) together;H3162 they hearH8085(QalPerf) not the voiceH6963 of the oppressor.H5065(QalActPtc) [19] The smallH6996 and greatH1419 are there; and the servantH5650 [is] freeH2670 from his master.H113 [20] Wherefore is lightH216 givenH5414(QalImpf) to him that is in misery,H6001 and lifeH2416 unto the bitterH4751 [in] soul;H5315 [21] Which longH2442(PielPtc) for death,H4194 but it [cometh] not; and digH2658(QalImpf) for it more than for hid treasures;H4301 [22] Which rejoiceH8056 exceedingly,H1524 [and] are glad,H7797(QalImpf) when they can findH4672(QalImpf) the grave?H6913 [23] [Why is light given] to a manH1397 whose wayH1870 is hid,H5641(NiphPerf) and whom GodH433 hath hedged in?H5526(HiphImpf) [24] For my sighingH585 comethH935(QalImpf) beforeH6440 I eat,H3899 and my roaringsH7581 are poured outH5413(QalImpf) like the waters.H4325 [25] For the thing which I greatlyH6343 fearedH6342(QalPerf) is comeH857(QalImpf) upon me, and that which I was afraidH3025(QalPerf) of is comeH935(QalImpf) unto me. [26] I was not in safety,H7951(QalPerf) neither had I rest,H8252(QalPerf) neither was I quiet;H5117(QalPerf) yet troubleH7267 came.H935(QalImpf)
