1: AfterH0310 thisH3651 openedH6605 JobH0347 -H0853 his mouth,H6310 and cursedH7043 -H0853 the day of his [birth].H3117

2: And spoke,H6030 JobH0347 and said,H0559

3: May perishH0006 the dayH3117 I was born,H3205 and the night [in which]H3915 it was said,H0559 is conceivedH2030 a male child.H1397

4: DayH3117 thatH1931 May beH1961 darkness-H2822 notH0408 May seek itH1875 GodH0433 above,H4605 norH0408 shineH3313 upon itH5921 the light.H5105

5: May claim itH1350 darknessH2822 and the shadow of deathH6757 May settleH7931 on itH5921 a cloudH6053 May terrify itH1204 the blacknessH3650 of the day.H3117

6: Night,H3915 [As for] thatH1931 may seize itH3947 darknessH0652 notH0408 May it rejoiceH2302 among the daysH3117 of the year,H8141 into the numberH4557 of the monthsH3391 notH0408 May it come.H0935

7: Oh,H2009 nightH3915 thatH1931 may beH1961 barren,H1565 noH0408 May comeH0935 joyful shoutH7445

8: May those curse itH5344 who curseH0779 the day,H3117 Those who are readyH6264 to rouseH5782 Leviathan.H3882

9: May be dark-H2821 the starsH3556 of its morningH5399 May it lookH6960 for light,H0216 but [have] none-H0369 and notH0408 seeH7200 the dawningH6079 of the day-H7837

10: becauseH3588 notH3808 it did shut upH5462 the doorsH1817 of my [mother's] womb,H0990 nor hideH5641 sorrowH5999 from my eyes.H5869

11: WhyH4100 notH3808 at birth?H7358 did I dieH4191 from the womb?H0990 when I cameH3318 and [Why] did I [not] perish.H1478

12: WhyH4069 did receive meH6923 the kneesH1290 Or what [were]H4100 the breastsH7699 thatH3588 I should nurse?H3243

13: forH3588 nowH6258 I would have lain stillH7901 and been quiet,H8252 I would have been asleep-H3462 thenH0227 would have been at rest,H5117

14: WithH5973 kingsH4428 and counselorsH3289 of the earth,H0776 who builtH1129 ruinsH2723

15: OrH0176 withH5973 princesH8269 had gold,H2091 whoH1992 who filledH4390 their housesH1004 [with] silver.H3701

16: OrH0176 like a stillborn childH5309 hiddenH2934 notH3808 [why] I was-H1961 Like infantsH5768 neverH3808 who sawH7200 light.H0216

17: ThereH8033 the wickedH7563 ceaseH2308 [from] troubling-H7267 and thereH8033 are at restH5117 the wearyH3019 the weary.H3581

18: [There] together-H3162 the prisonersH0615 restH7599 notH3808 they do hearH8085 the voiceH6963 of the oppressor.H5065

19: The smallH6996 and greatH1419 there-H8033 areH1931 and the servantH5650 [is] freeH2670 from his master.H0113

20: WhyH4100 is givenH5414 to him who is in misery,H6001 lightH0216 and lifeH2416 to the bitterH4751 of soul-H5315

21: who longH2442 for death,H4194 but it does not [come]-H0369 and search for itH2658 more than hidden treasures-H4301

22: who rejoiceH8055 toH0413 greatly,H1524 [And] are glad,H7797 whenH3588 they can findH4672 the grave?H6913

23: [Why is light given] to a manH1397 whoseH0834 wayH1870 is hidden,H5641 and has hedged in?H5526 GodH0433 whom.H1157

24: ForH3588 beforeH6440 I eat,H3899 my sighingH0585 comesH0935 and pour outH5413 like waterH4325 my groanings.H7581

25: ForH3588 the thingH6343 I greatly fearedH6342 and has come upon meH0857 and whatH0834 I dreadedH3025 has happenedH0935

26: NotH3808 I am at ease,H7951 norH3808 am I quiet,H8252 and noH3808 I have rest-H5117 for comesH0935 trouble.H7267
