1. Afterward, Job spoke up and cursed the day he was born.
2. Job said:
3. Perish the day I was born,the night someone said,"A boy has been conceived."
4. That day—let it be darkness;may God above ignore it,and light not shine on it.
5. May deepest darkness claim itand a cloud linger over it;may all that darkens the day terrify it.
6. May gloom seize that night;may it not be counted in the days of a year;may it not appear in the months.
