Kniha Jób

1 (UKJV) After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

2 (UKJV) And Job spoke, and said,

3 (UKJV) Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a male child conceived.

4 (UKJV) "Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. "

5 (UKJV) "Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. "

6 (UKJV) "As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months. "

7 (UKJV) Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.

8 (UKJV) Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.

9 (UKJV) "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 (UKJV) Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.

11 (UKJV) Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the spirit when I came out of the belly?

12 (UKJV) Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?

13 (UKJV) For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

14 (UKJV) "With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves; "

15 (UKJV) Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:

16 (UKJV) "Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light. "

17 (UKJV) "There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. "

18 (UKJV) "There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. "

19 (UKJV) "The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. "

20 (UKJV) "Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; "

21 (UKJV) "Which long for death, but it comes not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; "

22 (UKJV) Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?

23 (UKJV) Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God has hedged in?

24 (UKJV) For my sighing comes before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.

25 (UKJV) For the thing which I greatly feared has come upon me, and that which I was afraid of has come unto me.

26 (UKJV) "I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came. "
