Commentary
Commentary on Job 3:1
Theological / DevotionalCursed his day. The word translated “cursed” is from qalal, a common term for cursing, and not barak as in chs. 1:5, 11; 2:5, 9 (see on ch. 1:5). The passing weeks had apparently reduced Job from an attitude of calm resignation to one of deep despair. Compare Jeremiah’s cursing of the day of his birth in similar language (Jer. 20:14-18).
