After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. 2 And Job †spake, and said,

3  aLet the day perish wherein I was born,

And the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.

4  Let that day be darkness;

Let not God regard it from above,

Neither let the light shine upon it.

5  Let darkness and bthe shadow of death c||stain it;

Let a cloud dwell upon it;

||Let the blackness of the day terrify it.

6  As for that night, let darkness seize upon it;

||Let it not be joined unto the days of the year,

Let it not come into the number of the months.

7  Lo, let that night be dsolitary,

Let no ejoyful voice come therein.

8  Let them curse it that curse the day,

Who are ready to raise up ||their mourning.

9  Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark;

Let it look for light, but have none;

Neither let it see †the dawning of the day:

10  Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb,

Nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
