Job 3:1-8 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. After seven days Job spoke. He cursed the day he had been born.

2. Job said:

3. “Let the day I was born be destroyed.And destroy the night when it was said, ‘A boy is born!’

4. Let that day turn to darkness.Let God not even care about it.Don’t let light shine on that day.

5. Let darkness and gloom have that day.Let a cloud hide that day.Let darkness cover its light.

6. Let thick darkness capture that night.Don’t count it among the days of the year.Don’t put it in any of the months.

7. Let that night be empty.Let no shout of joy be heard in it.

8. Let the people who curse days curse that day.They know how to wake up the sea monster Leviathan.
