Job Curses His Birth

Job 3:1-11

Afterward Iob opened his mouth, and cursed his day.

And Iob cryed out, and sayd,

Let the day perish, wherein I was borne, and the night when it was sayde, There is a man childe conceiued.

Let that day bee darkenesse, let not God regarde it from aboue, neyther let the light shine vpon it,

But let darkenesse, and the shadowe of death staine it: let the cloude remayne vpon it, and let them make it fearefull as a bitter day.

Let darkenesse possesse that night, let it not be ioyned vnto the dayes of the yeere, nor let it come into the count of the moneths.

Yea, desolate be that night, and let no ioy be in it.

Let them that curse the day, (being readie to renue their mourning) curse it.

Let the starres of that twilight be dimme through darkenesse of it: let it looke for light, but haue none: neither let it see the dawning of the day,

Because it shut not vp the dores of my mothers wombe: nor hid sorowe from mine eyes.
