Job 3:4-9

New International Version

⁴ That day—may it turn to darkness;
    may God above not care about it;
    may no light shine on it.
⁵ May gloom and utter darkness^(A) claim it once more;
    may a cloud settle over it;
    may blackness overwhelm it.
⁶ That night—may thick darkness^(B) seize it;
    may it not be included among the days of the year
    nor be entered in any of the months.
⁷ May that night be barren;
    may no shout of joy^(C) be heard in it.
⁸ May those who curse days^[a] curse that day,^(D)
    those who are ready to rouse Leviathan.^(E)
9 May its morning stars become dark;
    may it wait for daylight in vain
    and not see the first rays of dawn,^(F)
