Job 3:9-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
9
May the stars of its twilight be darkened;
May it wait for light but have none,
And may it not see the breaking dawn;
10
Because it did not shut the opening of my
mother’s
womb,
Or hide trouble from my eyes.
11
'Why did I not die at birth,
Come out of the womb and pass away?
12
Why were the knees
there
in front of me,
And why the breasts, that I would nurse?
13
For now I would have lain down and been quiet;
I would have slept then, I would have been at rest,
14
With kings and counselors of the earth,
Who rebuilt ruins for themselves;
15
Or with rulers who had gold,
Who were filling their houses
with
silver.
King James Version
Chapter 3
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:
10
Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
11
Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
12
Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
13
For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
14
With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;
15
Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
9
May its morning stars grow dark.
May it wait for daylight but have none;
may it not see the breaking of dawn.
10
For that night did not shut
the doors of my mother’s womb,
and hide sorrow from my eyes.
11
Why was I not stillborn;
why didn’t I die as I came from the womb?
12
Why did the knees receive me,
and why were there breasts for me to nurse?
13
Now I would certainly be lying down in peace;
I would be asleep.
Then I would be at rest
14
with the kings and counselors of the earth,
who rebuilt ruined cities for themselves,
15
or with princes who had gold,
who filled their houses with silver.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
9
Let its morning stars remain dark.
Let it hope for light, but in vain;
may it never see the morning light.
10
Curse that day for failing to shut my mother’s womb,
for letting me be born to see all this trouble.
11
'Why wasn’t I born dead?
Why didn’t I die as I came from the womb?
12
Why was I laid on my mother’s lap?
Why did she nurse me at her breasts?
13
Had I died at birth, I would now be at peace.
I would be asleep and at rest.
14
I would rest with the world’s kings and prime ministers,
whose great buildings now lie in ruins.
15
I would rest with princes, rich in gold,
whose palaces were filled with silver.
English Standard Version
Chapter 3
9
Let the stars of its dawn be dark;
let it hope for light, but have none,
nor see the eyelids of the morning,
10
because it did not shut the doors of my mother 's womb,
nor hide trouble from my eyes.
11
"Why did I not die at birth,
come out from the womb and expire?
12
Why did the knees receive me?
Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
13
For then I would have lain down and been quiet;
I would have slept; then I would have been at rest,
14
with kings and counselors of the earth
who rebuilt ruins for themselves,
15
or with princes who had gold,
who filled their houses with silver.
New International Version
Chapter 3
9
May its morning stars become dark;
may it wait for daylight in vain
and not see the first rays of dawn,
10
for it did not shut the doors of the womb on me
to hide trouble from my eyes.
11
"Why did I not perish at birth,
and die as I came from the womb?
12
Why were there knees to receive me
and breasts that I might be nursed?
13
For now I would be lying down in peace;
I would be asleep and at rest
14
with kings and rulers of the earth,
who built for themselves places now lying in ruins,
15
with princes who had gold,
who filled their houses with silver.
New King James Version
Chapter 3
9
May the stars of its morning be dark;
May it look for light, but
have
none,
And not see the dawning of the day;

Because it did not shut up the doors of my
mother’s
womb,
Nor hide sorrow from my eyes.
11
“Why did I not die at birth?
Why
did I
not
perish when I came from the womb?
12
Why did the knees receive me?
Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
13
For now I would have lain still and been quiet,
I would have been asleep;
Then I would have been at rest
14
With kings and counselors of the earth,
Who built ruins for themselves,
15
Or with princes who had gold,
Who filled their houses
with
silver;
