reference: Job 3:9

text: 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:


text: Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.


text: Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?


text: Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?


text: For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,


text: With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;


text: Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:


text: Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.


text: There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.


text: There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.


text: The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.


text: Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;


text: Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;


text: Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?


text: Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?


text: For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.


text: For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.


text: I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
