Job 3:8-10
New Living Translation

8 Let those who are experts at cursing—
    whose cursing could rouse Leviathan[a]—
    curse that day.
9 Let its morning stars remain dark.
    Let it hope for light, but in vain;
    may it never see the morning light.
10 Curse that day for failing to shut my mother’s womb,
    for letting me be born to see all this trouble.

Job 3:8-10
New International Version

8 May those who curse days[a] curse that day,(A)
    those who are ready to rouse Leviathan.(B)
9 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.
