“May the day H3117 on which I was to be born H3205 perish H6,

As well as the night H3915 which said H559, ‘A [fn]boy H1397 is conceived H2029.’

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:4 -

“May that day H3117 be darkness H2822;

Nor H408 light H5105 shine H3313 on it.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:5 -

“May darkness H2822 and black H6757 gloom H6757 claim H1350 it;

May the blackness H3650 of the day H3117 terrify H1204 it.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:6 -

As for that night H3915, may darkness H652 seize H3947 it;

May it not come H935 into the number H4557 of the months H3391.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:7 -

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:9 -

“May the stars H3556 of its twilight H5399 be darkened H2821;

May it wait H6960 for light H216 but have H369 none H369,

And may it not see H7200 the [fn]breaking H6079 dawn H7837;

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:10 -

Because H3588 it did not shut H5462 the opening H1817 of my mother’s womb H990,

Or hide H5641 trouble H5999 from my eyes H5869.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:11 -

“Why H4100 did I not die H4191 [fn]at birth H7358,

Come H3318 out H3318 of the womb H990 and pass H1478 away H1478?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:12 -

“Why H4069 were H6923 the knees H1290 there in H6923 front H6923 of me,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:13 -

“For now H6258 I would have lain H7901 down H7901 and been H8252 quiet H8252;

I would have slept H3462 then H227, I would have been H5117 at H5117 rest H5117,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:14 -

With kings H4428 and counselors H3289 of the earth H776,

Who rebuilt H1129 ruins H2723 for themselves;

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:15 -

Or H176 with rulers H8269 who had gold H2091,

Who were filling H4390 their houses H1004 with silver H3701.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:16 -

“Or H176 like a miscarriage H5309 which is [fn]hidden H2934, I would not exist H1961,

As infants H5768 that never H3808 saw H7200 light H216.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:17 -

“There H8033 the wicked H7563 cease H2308 from raging H7267,

And there H8033 the [fn]weary H3019 are H5117 at H5117 rest H5117.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:18 -

“The prisoners H615 are H7599 at H7599 ease H7599 together H3162;

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:19 -

“The small H6996 and the great H1419 are there H8033,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:20 -

“Why H4100 is light H216 given H5414 to one burdened H6001 with H6001 grief H6001,

And life H2416 to the bitter H4751 of soul H5315,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:21 -

Who [fn]long H2442 for death H4194, but there H369 is H369 none H369,

And dig H2658 for it more H4480 than H4480 for hidden H4301 treasures H4301;

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:22 -

Who are filled H8056 with H8056 jubilation H8056 H1524,

And rejoice H7797 when H3588 they find H4672 the grave H6913?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:23 -

Why is light given to a man H1397 whose H834 way H1870 is hidden H5641,

And whom God H433 has shut H7753 off H7753?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:24 -

“For my groaning H585 comes H935 at the sight H6440 of my food H3899,

And my cries H7581 pour H5413 out H5413 like water H4325.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:25 -

“For [fn]what H6343 I fear H6342 comes H857 upon H857 me,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:26 -

“I am H7951 not at H7951 ease H7951, nor H3808 am H8252 I quiet H8252,

And I am H5117 not at H5117 rest H5117, but turmoil H7267 comes H935.”

NASB20 Footnotes
Lit his day
Lit answered and said
Lit man-child
Or skillful
Lit eyelids of dawn
Lit from the womb
I.e., buried
Lit weary of strength
Lit wait
Lit I fear a fear, and it comes
Lit comes to me
