Job 3:2-4

The Voice

3 ^1-2After all of this, Job opened his mouth and broke the silence. He spoke a curse, not upon God but upon his day of birth.

³Job: May the day die on which I was born,
        along with the night that spoke the words, “a boy is conceived.”
⁴    May that day of birth become darkness, and when it has disappeared,
        may God above neither seek it out nor light find a way to shine on it.
