Job 3:2

1 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.

And this is what he said:

3 “May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said, ‘A boy is conceived.’

4 If only that day had turned to darkness! May God above disregard it; may no light shine upon it.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
