1AfterwardH310H3651 JobH347 openedH6605 his mouthH6310 and cursedH7043 1the dayH3117 of his birth. 2And JobH347 2saidH6030H559,3“3May the dayH3117 on which I was to be bornH3205 perishH6, As well as the nightH3915 which saidH559, ‘A 4boyH1397 is conceivedH2029.’4May that dayH3117 be darknessH2822; May GodH433 aboveH4605 not careH1875 for it, NorH408 lightH5105 shineH3313 on it.5May 5darknessH2822 and blackH6757 gloomH6757 claimH1350 it; May a cloudH6053 settleH7931 on it; May the blacknessH3650 of the dayH3117 terrifyH1204 it.6As for that nightH3915, may darknessH652 seizeH3947 it; May it not rejoiceH2302 among the daysH3117 of the yearH8141; May it not comeH935 into the numberH4557 of the monthsH3391.7BeholdH2009, may that nightH3915 be barrenH1565; May noH408 joyfulH7445 shoutH7445 enterH935 it.8May those curseH6895 it who curseH779 the dayH3117, Who are 6preparedH6264 to 7disturbH5782 LeviathanH3882.9May the starsH3556 of its twilightH5399 be darkenedH2821; May it waitH6960 for lightH216 but haveH369 noneH369, And may it not seeH7200 the 8breakingH6079 dawnH7837;10BecauseH3588 it did not shutH5462 the openingH1817 of my mother’s wombH990, Or hideH5641 troubleH5999 from my eyesH5869.
