Holy Bible - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

3:1	After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.
3:2	And Job said:
3:3	'Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night which said, A man-child is conceived.'
3:4	Let that day be darkness! May God above not seek it, nor light shine upon it.
3:5	Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds dwell upon it;let the blackness of the day terrify it.
3:6	That night -- let thick darkness seize it! let it not rejoice among the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
3:7	Yea, let that night be barren;let no joyful cry be heard in it.
3:8	Let those curse it who curse the day, who are skilled to rouse up Levi'athan.
3:9	Let the stars of its dawn be dark;let it hope for light, but have none, nor see the eyelids of the morning;
3:10	because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb, nor hide trouble from my eyes.
3:11	'Why did I not die at birth, come forth from the womb and expire?
3:12	Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should suck?
3:13	For then I should have lain down and been quiet;I should have slept;then I should have been at rest,
3:14	with kings and counselors of the earth who rebuilt ruins for themselves,
3:15	or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver.
3:16	Or why was I not as a hidden untimely birth, as infants that never see the light?
3:17	There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest.
3:18	There the prisoners are at ease together;they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
3:19	The small and the great are there, and the slave is free from his master.
3:20	'Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul,
3:21	who long for death, but it comes not, and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
3:22	who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they find the grave?
3:23	Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, whom God has hedged in?
3:24	For my sighing comes as my bread, and my groanings are poured out like water.
3:25	For the thing that I fear comes upon me, and what I dread befalls me.
3:26	I am not at ease, nor am I quiet;I have no rest;but trouble comes.'
