1. After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth.
2. Job said:
3. “Let the day perish in which I was bornand the night in which it was said, ‘A male child is conceived.’
4. As for that day, let it be darkness;let God above not regard it;and let not light shine upon it.
5. Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it;let a cloud settle on it;let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6. As for that night, let darkness capture it;let it not rejoice among the days of the year;let it not come into the number of the months.
7. Yes, as for that night, let it be barren!Let no joyful cry come into it!
