1. After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.
2. And Job said:
3. “Let the day perish on which I was born,and the night that said,‘A man is conceived.’
4. Let that day be darkness!May God above not seek it,nor light shine upon it.
5. Let gloom and deep darkness claim it.Let clouds dwell upon it;let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6. That night—let thick darkness seize it!Let it not rejoice among the days of the year;let it not come into the number of the months.
