JOB CHAPTER 3

Job 3:1   I open my mouth and bless the day of my birth.

Job 3:2   I say:

Job 3:3  The day of my birth blossoms, and the night it was said, ‘A boy/girl is born!’

Job 3:4  That day remains bright; God above cares about it; abundant light shines upon it.

Job 3:5  Darkness and shadow have no claim on it; No cloud settles over it; blackness comprehend not its light.

Job 3:6  That night is covered by bright light; its position among the days of the year and the months is dignified.

Job 3:7  That night is fruitful; shouts of joy are heard in it.

Job 3:8  Those who curse days bless that day, even those who are ready to rouse Leviathan.

Job 3:9  Its morning stars remain bright; it receives daylight and abundance of first rays of dawn,

Job 3:10  for it opened the doors of the womb on me and released me to glory.

Job 3:11  I did not perish at birth, or die as I came from the womb for a great and divine purpose.

Job 3:12  There were knees to receive me and breasts to nurse me.

Job 3:13  And now I am standing up in peace; I am awake and at rest in the land of the living

Job 3:14  with kings and counselors of the earth, who build for themselves places thriving in glory;

Job 3:15  with rulers who have gold and fill their houses with silver.

Job 3:16  For this same purpose, I was released to the land of the living, like an infant to see the light of blessed days.

Job 3:17  In my sphere, the righteous triumph and the weary find rest in Christ.

Job 3:18 Captives are freed by the Almighty God and are no longer tuned to the slave driver’s shout.

Job 3:19  The small and the great, the slave and the master, find true freedom in Christ.

Job 3:20  Light is given to those in misery, and life to the bitter of soul,

Job 3:21  and to those who long for death that does not come, who search for it more than for hidden treasure; because the ample opportunity for freedom in Christ the Lord is extended to them.

Job 3:22  They are filled with gladness and rejoice because the Lord is revealed to them.

Job 3:23  This is why life is given to me; a man/woman whose way is open, whom God has given speed to run.

Job 3:24  For food come to me instead of sighing; my laughter pour out like water.

Job 3:25  What I desire comes to me; what I crave for happens to me.

Job 3:26  I have peace and quietness; I have rest and abundance of satisfaction.
