Job 3:3-10

ISV(i) 3 “Let the day when I was born be annihilated, along with the night when it was announced, ‘It’s a boy!’ 4 Let that day be dark; let God above not care about it; let no light shine over it. 5 Let darkness and deep gloom reclaim it; let clouds settle down on it; let blackness in mid-day terrify it. 6 Let darkness carry that night away; let it not take its place joyfully among the days of the year; let it not be entered into the calendar. 7 “Yes, let that night be barren; let it not appear with its joyful shout. 8 Let whoever curses days curse it— those who are ready to awaken monsters. 9 Let the stars of its evening twilight be dark; let it hope for light but let there be none; let it not see the breaking rays of the dawn. 10 “Because that night refused to shut the doors of my mother’s womb; it failed to keep me from seeing this trouble.
