1. After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
2. And Job answered and said:
3. Let the day perish wherein I was born, And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived.
4. Let that day be darkness; Let not God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine upon it.
5. Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.
6. As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it: Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months.
7. Lo, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come therein.
8. Let them curse it that curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
