1. After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed his day.
2. Job spoke out and said:
3. Perish the day on which I was born,the night when they said, “The child is a boy!”
4. May that day be darkness:may God above not care for it,may light not shine upon it!
5. May darkness and gloom claim it,clouds settle upon it,blackness of day affright it!
6. May obscurity seize that night;may it not be counted among the days of the year,nor enter into the number of the months!
7. May that night be barren;let no joyful outcry greet it!
8. Let them curse it who curse the Sea,those skilled at disturbing Leviathan!
