Job 3:8-16 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

8. Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.

9. Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark: let it look for light, but have none; neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:

10. Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid trouble from mine eyes.

11. Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?

12. Why did the knees receive me? or why the breasts, that I should suck?

13. For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest:

14. With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built up waste places for themselves;

15. Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:

16. Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
