3 “Scratch out the day I was bornand the night that said, ‘A boy has been conceived!’
4 “That day—let it be pitch-black.Let God above not ⌊even⌋ care about it.Let no light shine on it.
5 Let the darkness and long shadows claim it as their own.Let a dark cloud hang over it.Let the gloom terrify it.
6 “That night—let the blackness take it away.Let it not be included in the days of the yearor be numbered among the months.
7 Let that night be empty.Let no joyful singing be heard in it.
8 Let those who curse the day (those who know how to wake up Leviathan)curse that night.
9 Let its stars turn dark before dawn.Let it hope for light and receive none.Let it not see the first light of dawn
