Let those who curse the day [a]
(those who know how to wake up Leviathan)
curse that night.
Let its stars turn dark before dawn.
Let it hope for light and receive none.
Let it not see the first light of dawn
10 because it did not shut the doors of the womb ⌞from which I came⌟
or hide my eyes from trouble.

  1. 3:8 Or “those who curse the sea.”

May those who curse days[a] curse that day,(A)
    those who are ready to rouse Leviathan.(B)
May its morning stars become dark;
    may it wait for daylight in vain
    and not see the first rays of dawn,(C)
10 for it did not shut the doors of the womb on me
    to hide trouble from my eyes.
