Job 3:3‑16• 3Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night that said, There is a man child conceived.
 4That day--let it be darkness, let not +God care for it from above, neither let light shine upon it:
 5Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it; let clouds dwell upon it; let darkeners of the day terrify it.
 6That night--let gloom seize upon it; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.
 7Behold, let that night be barren; let no joyful sound come therein;
 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. (Job 3:3‑16)
