| 1 | After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth. | Jb 1:22 Jb 2:10 |
| 2 | Job answered: | Jg 18:14 |
| 3 | "Let the day perish in which I was born, The night which said, `There is a man-child conceived.` | Jb 10:18 Jb 10:19 Jer 15:10 Jer 20:14 Jer 20:15 |
| 4 | Let that day be darkness; Don`t let God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine on it. | Ex 10:22 Ex 10:23 Jl 2:2 Am 5:18 Mt 27:45 Ac 27:20 Rev 16:10 |
| 5 | Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes black the day terrify it. | Jb 10:21 Jb 10:22 Jb 16:16 Jb 24:17 Jb 28:3 Jb 38:17 Ps 23:4 Ps 44:19 Ps 107:10 Ps 107:14 Isa 9:2 Jer 2:6 Jer 13:16 Am 5:8 Mt 4:16 Lk 1:79 |
| 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. | Isa 13:20-22 Isa 24:8 Jer 7:34 Rev 18:22 Rev 18:23 |
| 8 | Let them curse it who curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan. | 2Ch 35:25 Jer 9:17 Jer 9:18 Am 5:16 Mt 11:17 Mk 5:38 |
| 9 | Let the stars of the twilight of it be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, Neither let it see the eyelids of the morning, | Jb 30:26 Jer 8:15 Jer 13:16 |
| 10 | Because it didn`t shut up the doors of my mother`s womb, Nor did it hide trouble from my eyes. | Jb 10:18 Jb 10:19 Gn 20:18 Gn 29:31 1Sa 1:5 Ec 6:3-5 Jer 20:17 |
| 11 | "Why didn`t I die from the womb? Why didn`t I give up the spirit when my mother bore me? | Ps 58:8 Jer 15:10 Hos 9:14 |
| 12 | Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should suck? | Gn 30:3 Gn 50:23 Isa 66:12 Ezk 16:4 Ezk 16:5 |
| 13 | For now should I have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept, then I would have been at rest, | Ec 6:3-5 Ec 9:10 |
| 14 | With kings and counselors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves; | Jb 30:23 1Ki 2:10 1Ki 11:43 Ps 49:6-10 Ps 49:14-10 Ps 89:48 Ec 8:8 Isa 14:10-16 Ezk 27:18-32 |
| 15 | Or with princes who had gold, Who filled their houses with silver: | Jb 22:25 Jb 27:16 Nm 22:18 1Ki 10:27 Isa 2:7 Zep 1:18 Zc 9:3 |
| 16 | Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants who never saw light. | Ps 58:8 1Co 15:8 |
| 17 | There the wicked cease from troubling; There the weary are at rest. | Jb 14:13 Ps 55:5-8 Mt 10:28 Lk 12:4 2Th 1:6 2Th 1:7 2Pe 2:8 |
| 18 | There the prisoners are at ease together. They don`t hear the voice of the taskmaster. | Jb 39:7 Ex 5:6-8 Ex 5:15-19 Jg 4:3 Isa 14:3 Isa 14:4 |
| 19 | The small and the great are there. The servant is free from his master. | Jb 30:23 Ps 49:2 Ps 49:6-10 Ec 8:8 Ec 12:5 Ec 12:7 Lk 16:22 Lk 16:23 Heb 9:27 |
| 20 | "Why is light given to him who is in misery, Life to the bitter in soul, | Jb 6:9 Jb 7:15 Jb 7:16 Jer 20:18 |
| 21 | Who long for death, but it doesn`t come; Dig for it more than for hidden treasures, | Nm 11:15 1Ki 19:4 Jon 4:3 Jon 4:8 Rev 9:6 |
| 22 | Who rejoice exceedingly, Are glad, when they can find the grave? |
| 23 | Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, Whom God has hedged in? | Isa 40:27 |
| 24 | For my sighing comes before I eat, My groanings are poured out like water. | Jb 7:19 Ps 80:5 Ps 102:9 |
| 25 | For the thing which I fear comes on me, That which I am afraid of comes to me. | Jb 1:5 Jb 31:23 |
| 26 | I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble comes." | Jb 27:9 Ps 143:11 |
