1 After this Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth.
2 Job said:
3 “Let the day perish in which I was bornand the night in which it was said, ‘A male child is conceived.’
4 As for that day, let it be darkness;let God above not regard it;and let not light shine upon it.
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it;let a cloud settle on it;let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, let darkness capture it;let it not rejoice among the days of the year;let it not come into the number of the months.
