JOB CURSES THE DAY OF HIS BIRTH AND WISHES FOR DEATH. (Job 3:1-19)
opened his mouth—The Orientals speak seldom, and then sententiously; hence this formula expressing deliberation and gravity (Psalms 78:2). He formally began.
cursed his day—the strict Hebrew word for "cursing:" not the same as in Job 1:5. Job cursed his birthday, but not his God.
