Chapter 3.

00:01.820 --> 00:05.080
After this opened Job his mouth and cursed
his day.

00:05.760 --> 00:10.740
And Job spake and said, Let the day perish
wherein I was born, and the night in which

00:10.740 --> 00:13.480
it was said, There is a man-child
conceived.

00:14.580 --> 00:16.000
Let that day be darkness.

00:16.860 --> 00:21.000
Let not God regard it from above,
neither let the light shine upon it.

00:21.580 --> 00:23.760
Let darkness and the shadow of death stain
it.

00:24.600 --> 00:28.200
Let a cloud dwell upon it, let the
blackness of the day terrify it.

00:28.200 --> 00:31.740
As for that night, let darkness seize upon
it.

00:32.460 --> 00:34.940
Let it not be joined unto the days of the
year.

00:35.360 --> 00:37.280
Let it not come into the number of the
months.

00:38.380 --> 00:40.000
Lo, let that night be solitary.

00:40.920 --> 00:43.060
Let no joyful voice come therein.

00:43.640 --> 00:47.240
Let them curse it that curse the day,
who are ready to raise up their morning.

00:48.120 --> 00:50.500
Let the stars of the twilight thereof be
dark.

00:51.200 --> 00:55.520
Let it look for light, but have none,
neither let it see the dawning of the day.

00:56.240 --> 01:00.800
Because it shut not up the doors of my
mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine

01:00.800 --> 01:01.240
eyes.

01:02.460 --> 01:03.960
Why died I not from the womb?

01:04.840 --> 01:07.420
Why did I not give up the ghost when I
came out of the belly?

01:08.620 --> 01:10.220
Why did the knees prevent me?

01:10.760 --> 01:12.520
Or why the breasts that I should suck?

01:13.880 --> 01:16.200
For now should I have lain still and been
quiet.

01:17.020 --> 01:18.280
I should have slept.

01:19.120 --> 01:23.340
Then had I been at rest, with kings and
counsellors of the earth which built

01:23.340 --> 01:24.980
desolate places for themselves.

01:25.860 --> 01:29.300
Or with princes that had gold,
who filled their houses with silver.

01:30.140 --> 01:34.140
Or as an hidden, untimely birth I had not
been.

01:34.960 --> 01:39.480
As infants which never saw light,
there the wicked cease from troubling,

01:39.740 --> 01:41.340
and there the weary be at rest.

01:43.060 --> 01:44.480
There the prisoners rest together.

01:45.080 --> 01:46.780
They hear not the voice of the oppressor.

01:47.160 --> 01:51.200
The small and great are there,
and the servant is free from his master.

01:52.180 --> 01:56.680
Wherefore is light given to him that is in
misery, and life unto the bitter in soul

01:56.680 --> 01:58.400
which long for death?

01:59.240 --> 02:00.540
But it cometh not.

02:01.340 --> 02:05.140
And dig for it more than four hid
treasures, which rejoice exceedingly,

02:05.340 --> 02:07.500
and are glad when they can find the grave.

02:07.860 --> 02:12.480
Why is light given to a man whose way is
hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

02:12.980 --> 02:17.140
For my sighing cometh before I eat,
and my roarings are poured out like the

02:17.140 --> 02:17.480
waters.

02:18.120 --> 02:22.780
For the thing which I greatly feared has
come upon me, and that which I was afraid

02:22.780 --> 02:23.840
of has come unto me.

02:24.900 --> 02:28.800
I was not in safety, neither had I rest,
neither was I quiet.

02:30.300 --> 02:31.720
Yet trouble came.
