Job 3:3-12

3“Let the day on which I was born perish, And the night which announced: ‘There is a man-child conceived.’

4May that day be darkness; Let God above not care about it, Nor light shine on it.

5Let darkness and gloom claim it for their own; Let a cloud settle upon it; Let all that blackens the day terrify it (the day that I was born).

6As for that night, let darkness seize it; Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not be counted in the number of the months.

7Behold, let that night be barren [and empty]; Let no joyful voice enter it.

8Let those curse it who curse the day, Who are skilled in rousing up Leviathan.

9Let the stars of its early dawn be dark; Let the morning wait in vain for the light, Let it not see the eyelids of morning (the day’s dawning),

10Because it did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb, Nor hide trouble from my eyes.

11“Why did I not die at birth, Come forth from the womb and expire?

12Why did the knees receive me? And why the breasts, that I would nurse?
