Job 3:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ “Yes, let that night be barren;
    let it not appear with its joyful shout.
⁸ Let whoever curses days curse it—
    those who are ready to awaken monsters.^[a]
9 Let the stars of its evening twilight be dark;
    let it hope for light but let there be none;
        let it not see the breaking rays^[b] of the dawn.
