31After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed his day.+2And Job answered and said,+3Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night that said, There is a man child conceived.+4That day — let it be darkness, let notGod care for it from above, neither let light shine upon it:+5Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it; let clouds dwell upon it; let darkeners of the day terrify it.+6That night — let gloom seize upon it; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months. 7Behold, let that night be barren; let no joyful sound come therein;+8Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse Leviathan;+9Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it wait for light, and have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the dawn:+10Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, and hid not trouble from mine eyes.+11Wherefore did I not die from the womb, — come forth from the belly and expire?+12Why did the knees meet me? and wherefore the breasts, that I should suck?+13For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept: then had I been at rest,+14With kings and counsellors of the earth, who build desolate places for themselves,+15Or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;+16Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that have not seen the light.+17There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the wearied are at rest.+18The prisoners together are at ease; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.+19The small and great are there, and the bondman freed from his master.+20Wherefore is light given to him that is in trouble, and life to those bitter of soul,+21Who long for death, and it [cometh] not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures;+22Who rejoice even exultingly and are glad when they find the grave? —+23To the man whose way is hidden, and whomGod hath hedged in?+24For my sighing cometh before my bread, and my groanings are poured out like the waters.+25For I feared a fear, and it hath come upon me, and that which I dreaded hath come to me.+26I was not in safety, neither had I quietness, neither was I at rest, and trouble came.+
