SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:10
por cuanto no cerró las puertas del vientre donde yo estaba, ni escondió de mis ojos la miseria.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 3:10
Verse 10. Because it shut not up the doors ] Here is the reason why he curses the day and the night in which he was conceived and born; because, had he never been brought into existence, he would never have seen trouble. It seems, however, very harsh that he should have wished the destruction of his mother, in order that his birth might have been prevented; and I rather think Job's execration did not extend thus far. The Targum understands the passage as speaking of the umbilical cord, by which the foetus is nourished in its mother's womb: had this been shut up, there must have been a miscarriage, or he must have been dead born; and thus sorrow would have been hidden from his eyes. This seeming gloss is much nearer the letter and spirit of the Hebrew than is generally imagined. I shall quote the words: ynfb ytld rgs al yk ki lo sagar dalthey bitni, because it did not shut up the doors of my belly. This is much more consistent with the feelings of humanity, than to wish his mother's womb to have been his grave.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-10 - For seven days Job's friends sat by him in silence, without offerin consolidation: at the same time Satan assaulted his mind to shake his confidence, and to fill him with hard thoughts of God. The permissio seems to have extended to this, as well as to torturing the body. Jo was an especial type of Christ, whose inward sufferings, both in the garden and on the cross, were the most dreadful; and arose in a grea degree from the assaults of Satan in that hour of darkness. Thes inward trials show the reason of the change that took place in Job' conduct, from entire submission to the will of God, to the impatienc which appears here, and in other parts of the book. The believer, wh knows that a few drops of this bitter cup are more dreadful than the sharpest outward afflictions, while he is favoured with a sweet sens of the love and presence of God, will not be surprised to find that Jo proved a man of like passions with others; but will rejoice that Sata was disappointed, and could not prove him a hypocrite; for though he cursed the day of his birth, he did not curse his God. Job doubtles was afterwards ashamed of these wishes, and we may suppose what must by his judgment of them now he is in everlasting happiness.
