=====Job / Job 3 ===== ^ [[bijbels:kjv:|Terug naar Bijbel index]] ^ [[bijbels:kjv:tekst:job|Terug naar Boek index]] ^ \\ \\ [[commentaar:job3-1|1]] After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. \\ [[commentaar:job3-2|2]] And Job spake, and said, \\ [[commentaar:job3-3|3]] Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. \\ [[commentaar:job3-4|4]] Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. \\ [[commentaar:job3-5|5]] Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. \\ [[commentaar:job3-6|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. \\ [[commentaar:job3-7|7]] Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein. \\ [[commentaar:job3-8|8]] Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. \\ [[commentaar:job3-9|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: \\ [[commentaar:job3-10|10]] Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. \\ [[commentaar:job3-11|11]] Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly? \\ [[commentaar:job3-12|12]] Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? \\ [[commentaar:job3-13|13]] For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest, \\ [[commentaar:job3-14|14]] With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves; \\ [[commentaar:job3-15|15]] Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: \\ [[commentaar:job3-16|16]] Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. \\ [[commentaar:job3-17|17]] There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. \\ [[commentaar:job3-18|18]] There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. \\ [[commentaar:job3-19|19]] The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. \\ [[commentaar:job3-20|20]] Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; \\ [[commentaar:job3-21|21]] Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; \\ [[commentaar:job3-22|22]] Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? \\ [[commentaar:job3-23|23]] Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? \\ [[commentaar:job3-24|24]] For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. \\ [[commentaar:job3-25|25]] For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. \\ [[commentaar:job3-26|26]] I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came. ^ [[job2| vorig hoofdstuk]] ^ [[job4|volgend hoofdstuk]] ^
