Job 3:1–10
3 After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth. 2 And Job 1spoke, and said:
3 “May athe day perish on which I was born,
And the night in which it was said,
‘A male child is conceived.’
May God above not seek it,
Nor the light shine upon it.
5 May darkness and bthe shadow of death claim it;
May a cloud settle on it;
May the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, may darkness seize it;
May it not 2rejoice among the days of the year,
May it not come into the number of the months.
7 Oh, may that night be barren!
May no joyful shout come into it!
8 May those curse it who curse the day,
Those cwho are ready to arouse Leviathan.
9 May the stars of its morning be dark;
May it look for light, but have none,
And not see the 3dawning of the day;
10 Because it did not shut up the doors of my mother’s womb,
Nor hide sorrow from my eyes.
