Or you can look it up online right now yourself...
you can search in serveral languages, and from many different versions of the Bible.
There is a passage search, and a keyword search on the left of the home page.

NIV
Job 1:4,5 His sons used to take turns holding feasts in their homes, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would send and have them purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, "Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." This was Job's regular custom.
Job 3:1-3 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. 2 He said: 3"May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said, 'A boy is born!'

New International Version says
Job 1: 4,5 His Sons used to take turns holding feasts in their homes,& they would would invite their three sisters to eat & drink with them. When the period of feasting had run its course ,Job would send & have them pirified.
Job 3:1-3 says After this Job opened his mouth & cursed the day of his birth. He said May the day of my birth perish
& the night it was said "A boy is born"
That day----may it turn to darkness ;
may God above not care about it:
May no light shed upon it. -

No need to apologize, Grace. It's obvious that mine was cut and pasted while yours was typed from the source. Kinda like the difference in a cookie from a box and one made from scratch by a loving grandma. I like yours much better.
