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.
9. Let that day’s morning stars become dark.Let it wait for daylight, but don’t let it come.Don’t let it see the first light of dawn.
10. This is because it allowed me to be born.That day did not hide trouble from my eyes.
11. “Why didn’t I die as soon as I was born?Why didn’t I die when I came out of the womb?
12. Why did my mother’s knees receive me?Why did my mother’s breasts feed me?
