1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

1 אַחֲרֵי־כֵ֗ן פָּתַ֤ח אִיֹּוב֙ אֶת־פִּ֔יהוּ וַיְקַלֵּ֖ל אֶת־יֹומֹֽו׃

2 And Job spake, and said,

2 וַיַּ֥עַן אִיֹּ֗וב וַיֹּאמַֽר׃

3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.

3 יֹ֣אבַד יֹ֖ום אִוָּ֣לֶד בֹּ֑ו וְהַלַּ֥יְלָה אָ֝מַ֗ר הֹ֣רָה גָֽבֶר׃

4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

4 הַיֹּ֥ום הַה֗וּא יְֽהִ֫י חֹ֥שֶׁךְ אַֽל־יִדְרְשֵׁ֣הוּ אֱלֹ֣והַּ מִמָּ֑עַל וְאַל־תֹּופַ֖ע עָלָ֣יו נְהָרָֽה׃

5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

5 יִגְאָלֻ֡הוּ חֹ֣שֶׁךְ וְ֭צַלְמָוֶת תִּשְׁכָּן־עָלָ֣יו עֲנָנָ֑ה יְ֝בַעֲתֻ֗הוּ כִּֽמְרִ֥ירֵי יֹֽום׃

6 As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.

6 הַלַּ֥יְלָה הַהוּא֮ יִקָּחֵ֪ה֫וּ אֹ֥פֶל אַל־יִ֭חַדְּ בִּימֵ֣י שָׁנָ֑ה בְּמִסְפַּ֥ר יְ֝רָחִ֗ים אַל־יָבֹֽא׃

7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.

7 הִנֵּ֤ה הַלַּ֣יְלָה הַ֭הוּא יְהִ֣י גַלְמ֑וּד אַל־תָּבֹ֖א רְנָנָ֣ה בֹֽו׃

8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.

8 יִקְּבֻ֥הוּ אֹרְרֵי־יֹ֑ום הָ֝עֲתִידִ֗ים עֹרֵ֥ר לִוְיָתָֽן׃

9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

9 יֶחְשְׁכוּ֮ כֹּוכְבֵ֪י3 נִ֫שְׁפֹּ֥ו יְקַו־לְאֹ֥ור וָאַ֑יִן וְאַל־יִ֝רְאֶ֗ה בְּעַפְעַפֵּי־שָֽׁחַר׃

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

10 כִּ֤י לֹ֣א סָ֭גַר דַּלְתֵ֣י בִטְנִ֑י וַיַּסְתֵּ֥ר עָ֝מָ֗ל מֵעֵינָֽי׃

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

11 לָ֤מָּה לֹּ֣א מֵרֶ֣חֶם אָמ֑וּת מִבֶּ֖טֶן יָצָ֣אתִי וְאֶגְוָֽע׃

12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?

12 מַ֭דּוּעַ קִדְּמ֣וּנִי בִרְכָּ֑יִם וּמַהשָּ֝־דַ֗יִם כִּ֣י אִינָֽק׃

13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

13 כִּֽי־עַ֭תָּה שָׁכַ֣בְתִּי וְאֶשְׁקֹ֑וט יָ֝שַׁ֗נְתִּי אָ֤ז׀ יָנ֬וּחַֽ לִֽי׃

14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves;

14 עִם־מְ֭לָכִים וְיֹ֣עֲצֵי אָ֑רֶץ הַבֹּנִ֖ים חֳרָבֹ֣ות לָֽמֹו׃

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

15 אֹ֣ו עִםשָ֭־רִים זָהָ֣ב לָהֶ֑ם הַֽמְמַלְאִ֖ים בָּתֵּיהֶ֣ם כָּֽסֶף׃

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

16 אֹ֤ו3 כְנֵ֣פֶל טָ֭מוּן לֹ֣א אֶהְיֶ֑ה כְּ֝עֹלְלִ֗ים לֹא־רָ֥אוּ אֹֽור׃

17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.

17 שָׁ֣ם רְ֭שָׁעִים חָ֣דְלוּ רֹ֑גֶז וְשָׁ֥ם יָ֝נ֗וּחוּ יְגִ֣יעֵי כֹֽחַ׃

18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.

18 יַ֭חַד אֲסִירִ֣ים שַׁאֲנָ֑נוּ לֹ֥א מְע֗וּ קֹ֣ול נֹגֵֽשׂ׃

19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.

19 קָטֹ֣ן וְ֭גָדֹול שָׁ֣ם ה֑וּא וְ֝עֶ֗בֶד חָפְשִׁ֥י מֵאֲדֹנָֽיו׃

20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;

20 לָ֤מָּה יִתֵּ֣ן לְעָמֵ֣ל אֹ֑ור וְ֝חַיִּ֗ים לְמָ֣רֵי נָֽפֶשׁ׃

21 Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;

21 הַֽמְחַכִּ֣ים לַמָּ֣וֶת וְאֵינֶ֑נּוּ וַֽ֝יַּחְפְּרֻ֗הוּ מִמַּטְמֹונִֽים׃

22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?

22 הַשְּׂמֵחִ֥ים אֱלֵי־גִ֑יל יָ֝שִׂ֗ישׂוּ כִּ֣י יִמְצְאוּ־קָֽבֶר׃

23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

23 לְ֭גֶבֶר אֲשֶׁר־דַּרְכֹּ֣ו נִסְתָּ֑רָה וַיָּ֖סֶךְ אֱלֹ֣והַּ בַּעֲדֹֽו׃

24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.

24 כִּֽי־לִפְנֵ֣י לַ֭חְמִי אַנְחָתִ֣י תָבֹ֑א וַֽיִּתְּכ֥וּ כַ֝מַּ֗יִם שַׁאֲגֹתָֽי׃

25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

25 כִּ֤י פַ֣חַד פָּ֭חַדְתִּי וַיֶּאֱתָיֵ֑נִי וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר יָ֝גֹ֗רְתִּי יָ֣בֹא לִֽי׃

26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

26 לֹ֤א שָׁלַ֨וְתִּי׀ וְלֹ֖א שָׁקַ֥טְתִּי וְֽלֹא־נָ֗חְתִּי וַיָּ֥בֹא רֹֽגֶז׃
