Job 3:7-11 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

7. I wish that night had produced nothing and no happy shouts had been heard.

8. Some magicians think they can wake Leviathan. So let them say their curses and curse the day I was born.

9. Let that day’s morning star be dark. Let that night wait for a morning that never comes. I wish it had never seen the first rays of sunlight.

10. I wish it had stopped me from being born and kept me from seeing all these troubles.

11. Why didn’t I die when I was born? Why didn’t I die as I came from my mother’s womb?
