2. And Job said,
3. "Let the day perish on which I was to be born, And the night which said, 'A boy is conceived.'
4. "May that day be darkness; Let not God above care for it, Nor light shine on it.
5. "Let darkness and black gloom claim it; Let a cloud settle on it; Let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6. "As for that night, let darkness seize it; Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months.
7. "Behold, let that night be barren; Let no joyful shout enter it.
