Job 3:3-10

3“1May the day on which I was to be born perish, As well as the night which said, ‘A 2boy is conceived.’4May that day be darkness; May God above not care for it, Nor light shine on it.5May 3darkness and black gloom claim it; May a cloud settle on it; May the blackness of the day terrify it.6As for that night, may darkness seize it; May it not rejoice among the days of the year; May it not come into the number of the months.7Behold, may that night be barren; May no joyful shout enter it.8May those curse it who curse the day, Who are 4prepared to 5disturb Leviathan.9May the stars of its twilight be darkened; May it wait for light but have none, And may it not see the 6breaking dawn;10Because it did not shut the opening of my mother’s womb, Or hide trouble from my eyes.
