Job 3:1-6

1After this, Job began to speak and cursed the day he was born.

2He said:

3May the day I was born perish, and the night that said, “A boy is conceived.”

4If only that day had turned to darkness! May God above not care about it, or light shine on it.

5May darkness and gloom reclaim it, and a cloud settle over it. May what darkens the day terrify it.

6If only darkness had taken that night away! May it not appear among the days of the year or be listed in the calendar.
