Job 3:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ I wish that night had produced nothing
    and no happy shouts had been heard.
⁸ Some magicians think they can wake Leviathan.^[a]
    So let them say their curses and curse the day I was born.
⁹ Let that day’s morning star be dark.
    Let that night wait for a morning that never comes.
    I wish it had never seen the first rays of sunlight.
