Job 10:18–19

¹⁴¶ Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.

¹⁵Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.

¹⁶And let that man be as the cities which the Lord overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;

¹⁷Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.

¹⁸Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

¹⁴¶ Cursed be the day wherein I was borne: let not the day wherein my mother bare mee, be blessed.

^15*Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying: A man child is borne vnto thee, making him very glad.

^16*And let that man be as the cities which the LORD ouerthrew and repented not: and let him heare the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noonetide,

¹⁷Because he slew me not from the wombe: or that my mother might haue beene my graue, and her wombe to be alwaies great with me.

^18*Wherefore came I forth out of the wombe to see labour and sorrow, that my daies should be consumed with shame?

¹⁰¶ Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me.

¹⁰¶ ^*Woe is mee, my mother, that that thou hast borne me a man of strife, and a man of contention to the whole earth: I haue neither lent on vsurie, nor men haue lent to me on vsurie, yet euery one of them doeth curse me.

²⁰But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.

²⁰But the eyes of the wicked shall faile, and ^†they shall not escape, and ^*their hope shall be as the ^‖giuing vp of the ghost.

¹⁰But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?

¹⁰But man dyeth, and ^†wasteth away; yea, man giueth vp the ghost, and where is hee?

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?

¹⁰Because it shut not vp the doores of my mothers wombe, nor hid sorrowe from mine eyes.

¹¹Why died I not from the wombe? why did I not giue vp the ghost when I came out of the bellie?

²⁴The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.

²⁴The sonne of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe vnto that man by whom the sonne of man is betrayed: It had bin good for that man, if hee had not bene borne.

⁸As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

⁸As a snaile which melteth, let euery one of them passe away: like the vntimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sunne.
