Job 3:9
Job Laments His Birth
8May it be cursed by those who curse the day — those prepared to rouse Leviathan. 9May its morning stars grow dark; may it wait in vain for daylight; may it not see the breaking of dawn. 10For that night did not shut the doors of the womb to hide the sorrow from my eyes.
