1. After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.
2. And Job spoke, and said:
3. “May the day perish on which I was born,And the night in which it was said,‘A male child is conceived.’
4. May that day be darkness;May God above not seek it,Nor the light shine upon it.
5. May darkness and the shadow of death claim it;May a cloud settle on it;May the blackness of the day terrify it.
