Job 3:3-10

3“Let the day on which I was born perish, and the night that said, ‘A man has been conceived!’

4That day – let it be darkness; let not God on high regard it, nor let light shine on it!

5Let darkness and the deepest shadow claim it; let a cloud settle on it; let whatever blackens the day terrify it!

6That night – let darkness seize it; let it not be included among the days of the year; let it not enter among the number of the months!

7Indeed, let that night be barren; let no shout of joy penetrate it!

8Let those who curse the day curse it – those who are prepared to rouse Leviathan.

9Let its morning stars be darkened; let it wait for daylight but find none, nor let it see the first rays of dawn,

10because it did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb on me, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes!
