Job 3:7-14 Common English Bible (CEB)

7. May that night be childless;may no happy singing come in it.

8. May those who curse the day curse it,those with enough skill to awaken Leviathan.

9. May its evening stars stay dark;may it wait in vain for light;may it not see dawn’s gleam,

10. because it didn’t close the doors of my mother’s womb,didn’t hide trouble from my eyes.

11. Why didn’t I die at birth,come forth from the womb and die?

12. Why did knees receive meand breasts let me nurse?

13. For now I would be lying down quietly;I’d sleep; rest would be mine

14. with kings and earth’s advisors,who rebuild ruins for themselves,
