Job 3:1-5 New English Translation (NET)

1. After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day he was born.

2. Job spoke up and said:

3. “Let the day on which I was born perish,and the night that said,‘A man has been conceived!’

4. That day – let it be darkness;let not God on high regard it,nor let light shine on it!

5. Let darkness and the deepest shadow claim it;let a cloud settle on it;let whatever blackens the day terrify it!
