CURSED THEIR BIRTH

Job 3:1-13

[3:1] After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. [3:2] And Job spake, and said, [3:3] Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. [3:4] Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. [3:5] Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. [3:6] 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. [3:7] Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein. [3:8] Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. [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: [3:10] Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. [3:11] Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?

[3:12] Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? [3:13] For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

Jeremiah 20:14

Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed. (Jeremiah)
