King James Version (KJV)

Job 3:3

“Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night [in which] it was said, There is a man child conceived.”

Verse in context — Job 3

After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

And Job spake, and said,

Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night [in which] it was said, There is a man child conceived.

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

Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
