Job 3:6-12
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 3

6 As for that night, may darkness seize it; May it not rejoice among the days of the year; May it not come into the number of the months. 7Behold, may that night be barren; May no joyful shout enter it. 8May those curse it who curse the day, Who are prepared to disturb Leviathan. 9May the stars of its twilight be darkened; May it wait for light but have none, And may it not see the breaking dawn; 10Because 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? 12Why were the knees there in front of me, And why the breasts, that I would nurse?
King James Version

Chapter 3

6As 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.
7Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
8Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
9Let 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:
10Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes. 11Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
12Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 3

6If only darkness had taken that night away! May it not appear among the days of the year or be listed in the calendar. 7Yes, may that night be barren; may no joyful shout be heard in it. 8Let those who curse days condemn it, those who are ready to rouse Leviathan. 9May its morning stars grow dark. May it wait for daylight but have none; may it not see the breaking of dawn.
10For that night did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb, and hide sorrow from my eyes. 11Why was I not stillborn; why didn’t I die as I came from the womb? 12Why did the knees receive me, and why were there breasts for me to nurse?
New Living Translation

Chapter 3

6Let that night be blotted off the calendar, never again to be counted among the days of the year, never again to appear among the months. 7Let that night be childless. Let it have no joy. 8Let those who are experts at cursing — whose cursing could rouse Leviathan — curse that day. 9Let its morning stars remain dark. Let it hope for light, but in vain; may it never see the morning light. 10Curse 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? 12Why was I laid on my mother’s lap? Why did she nurse me at her breasts?
English Standard Version

Chapter 3

6That night — let thick darkness seize it! Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months. 7Behold, let that night be barren; let no joyful cry enter it. 8Let those curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up Leviathan. 9Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light, but have none, nor see the eyelids of the morning, 10because 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? 12Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
New International Version

Chapter 3

6That night—may thick darkness seize it; may it not be included among the days of the year nor be entered in any of the months. 7May that night be barren; may no shout of joy be heard in it. 8May those who curse days curse that day, those who are ready to rouse Leviathan. 9May its morning stars become dark; may it wait for daylight in vain and not see the first rays of dawn,
10for 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? 12Why were there knees to receive me and breasts that I might be nursed?
New King James Version

Chapter 3

6 As for that night, may darkness seize it; May it not rejoice among the days of the year, May it not come into the number of the months. 7Oh, may that night be barren! May no joyful shout come into it! 8May those curse it who curse the day, Those who are ready to arouse Leviathan. 9May the stars of its morning be dark; May it look for light, but have none, And not see the dawning of the day; 10Because 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?
