Job Deplores His Birth
And the night in which it was said,
‘A male child is conceived.’
May a cloud settle on it;
May the blackness of the day terrify it.
| << Job 2:13 | Job 3:2 >> |
Job 3:1
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.
