5. May darkness and the shadow of death claim it;May a cloud settle on it;May the blackness of the day terrify it.
6. As for that night, may darkness seize it;May it not rejoice among the days of the year,May it not come into the number of the months.
7. Oh, may that night be barren!May no joyful shout come into it!
8. May those curse it who curse the day,Those who are ready to arouse Leviathan.
9. May the stars of its morning be dark;May it look for light, but have none,And not see the dawning of the day;
10. Because it did not shut up the doors of my mother’s womb,Nor hide sorrow from my eyes.
