1. After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
2. And Job spoke, and said,
3. Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a male child conceived.
4. Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
5. Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6. As for that night, let 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 solitary, let no joyful voice come into it.
8. Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to arouse leviathan.
9. Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
10. Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from my eyes.
11. Why died I not from the womb? why did I not expire when I came out of the womb?
