1 Afterward Job opened his mouth and curseda Lit his daythe day of his birth. 2 And Jobb Lit answered and saidsaid,
 3 “Let the day perish on which I was to be born,
And the night which said, ‘Ac Lit man-childboy is conceived.’

11 “Why did I not dief Lit from the wombat birth,
Come forth from the womb and expire?

And why the breasts, that I should suck?

Who were filling their houses with silver.
 16 “Or like a miscarriage which isg Lit hiddendiscarded, I would not be,
As infants that never saw light.

And there theh Lit weary of strengthweary are at rest.

And exult when they find the grave?
 23 “Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,
And whom God has hedged in?
