Audio Bible Context Job Laments His Birth1After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. 2And this is what he said: 3“May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said, ‘A boy is conceived.’… Cross References Job 3:1 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. Job 3:3 "May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said, 'A boy is conceived.' Treasury of Scripture And Job spoke, and said, spake. Job 3:2 And Job spake, and said, Jump to Previous Job SaidJump to Next Job SaidJob 3 1. Job curses the day and services of his birth.13. The ease of death. 20. He complains of life, because of his anguish. Verses 2, 3. - And Job spake, and said, Let the day perish wherein I was born. An idle wish, doubtless; the vague utterance of extreme despair. Days cannot perish, or, at any rate, one day cannot perish more than another. They all come, and then are gone; but no day can perish out of the year, which will always have its full complement of three hundred and sixty-five days till time shall be no more. But extreme despair does not reason. It simply gives utterance to the thoughts and wishes as they arise. Job knew that many of his thoughts were vain and foolish, and confesses it further on (see Job 6:3). And the night in which it was said; rather, which said. Day and night are, both of them, personified, as in Psalm 19:2. There is a man child conceived. A man child was always regarded in the ancient world as a special blessing, since thus the family was maintained in being. A girl passed into another family. Parallel Commentaries ...
