1. Afterward Job opened his mouth and cursed his day.
2. Thus Job spoke up and said,
3. “Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night that said, ‘A man-child is conceived.’
4. Let that day become darkness; may God not seek it from above, nor may daylight shine on it.
5. Let darkness and deep shadow claim it; let clouds settle on it; let them terrify it with the blackness of day.
6. Let darkness seize that night; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not enter among the number of the months.
7. Look, let that night become barren; let a joyful song not enter it.
8. Let those who curse the day curse it, those who are skilled at rousing Leviathan.
9. Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light but there be none, and let it not see the eyelids of dawn
