New Testament

Job 3:3-10 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

3. “Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night that said, ‘A man-child is conceived.’

4. Let that day become darkness; may God not seek it from above, nor may daylight shine on it.

5. Let darkness and deep shadow claim it; let clouds settle on it; let them terrify it with the blackness of day.

6. Let darkness seize that night; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not enter among the number of the months.

7. Look, let that night become barren; let a joyful song not enter it.

8. Let those who curse the day curse it, those who are skilled at rousing Leviathan.

9. Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light but there be none, and let it not see the eyelids of dawn

10. because it did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
