3"Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night which said, ` man-child is conceived.'
4Let that day be darkness! May God above not seek it, nor light shine upon it.
5Let gloom and deep darkness claim it. Let clouds dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6That night--let thick darkness seize it! let it not rejoice among the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
7Yea, let that night be barren; let no joyful cry be heard in it.
8Let those curse it who curse the day, who are skilled to rouse up Levi'athan.
9Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light, but have none, nor see the eyelids of the morning;
10because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb, nor hide trouble from my eyes.
Job 3:3-10 (RSV)
