1. After seven days Job cried out and cursed the day he had been born,
2. saying:
3. “Let the day I was born be destroyed,and the night it was said, ‘A boy is born!’
4. Let that day turn to darkness.Don’t let God care about it.Don’t let light shine on it.
5. Let darkness and gloom have that day.Let a cloud hide it.Let thick darkness cover its light.
6. Let thick darkness capture that night.Don’t count it among the days of the yearor put it in any of the months.
7. Let that night be empty,with no shout of joy to be heard.
