¹⁵Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad!
¹⁶And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and repented not; and let him hear a cry in the morning, and a shouting at noonday,

³Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night that said, There is a man child conceived.

⁸Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse Leviathan;
⁹Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it wait for light, and have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the dawn:
¹⁰Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, and hid not trouble from mine eyes.
¹¹Wherefore did I not die from the womb,--come forth from the belly and expire?
¹²Why did the knees meet me? and wherefore the breasts, that I should suck?
¹³For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
¹⁴With kings and counsellors of the earth, who build desolate places for themselves,
¹⁵Or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;
¹⁶Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that have not seen the light.
¹⁷There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the wearied are at rest.
¹⁸The prisoners together are at ease; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
¹⁹The small and great are there, and the bondman freed from his master.
²⁰Wherefore is light given to him that is in trouble, and life to those bitter of soul,
²¹Who long for death, and it cometh not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures;
²²Who rejoice even exultingly and are glad when they find the grave?--
²³To the man whose way is hidden, and whom +God hath hedged in?
²⁴For my sighing cometh before my bread, and my groanings are poured out like the waters.
²⁵For I feared a fear, and it hath come upon me, and that which I dreaded hath come to me.
²⁶I was not in safety, neither had I quietness, neither was I at rest, and trouble came. (Job 3:1‑26)
