Job 3

² And this is what he said:

³ “May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said, ‘A boy is conceived.’

⁴ If only that day had turned to darkness! May God above disregard it; may no light shine upon it.

⁵ May darkness and gloom reclaim it, and a cloud settle over it; may the blackness of the day overwhelm it.
