The day and night Job curses

3May the day on which I was born perish, and the night that said, “A male child has been conceived.”

4May that day be darkness; may God above not seek it, and may no light shine upon it.

5May darkness and deep shadow reclaim it; may a cloud dwell over it; may the day’s darkenings terrify it.

6As for that night, let darkness seize it; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not enter into the number of the months.

7Look, may that night be barren; let no joyful cry enter it.

8Let those who curse days curse it, those ready to rouse Leviathan.

9May the stars of its twilight be dark; may it wait for light, but there is none, and may it not see the eyelids of dawn.

10because it did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb or hide trouble from my eyes.
