7. "Behold, let that night be barren; Let no joyful shout enter it.
8. "Let those curse it who curse the day, Who are prepared to rouse Leviathan.
9. "Let the stars of its twilight be darkened; Let it wait for light but have none, And let it not see the breaking dawn;
10. Because it did not shut the opening of my mother's womb, Or hide trouble from my eyes.
11. "Why did I not die at birth, Come forth from the womb and expire?
12. "Why did the knees receive me, And why the breasts, that I should suck?
13. "For now I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept then, I would have been at rest,
14. With kings and with counselors of the earth, Who rebuilt ruins for themselves;
15. Or with princes who had gold, Who were filling their houses with silver.
