After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.
In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.
And Job spoke, and said,
Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
Therefore does Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.
Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.
Woe is me, my mother, that you have 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 does curse me.
