8. May people call down a curse on that day. May those who are ready to wake up the sea monster Leviathan curse that day.
9. May its morning stars become dark. May it lose all hope of ever seeing daylight. May it not see the first light of the morning sun.
10. It didn't keep my mother from letting me be born. It didn't keep my eyes from seeing trouble.
11. "Why didn't I die when I was born? Why didn't I die as I came out of my mother's body?
12. Why was I placed on her knees? Why did her breasts give me milk?
13. If all of that hadn't happened, I would be lying down in peace. I'd be asleep and at rest in the grave.
14. I'd be with the earth's kings and advisers. They had built for themselves places that are now destroyed.
15. I'd be with rulers who used to have gold. They had filled their houses with silver.
16. Why wasn't I buried like a baby who was born dead? Why wasn't I buried like a child who never saw the light of day?
