Let those curse it who curse the Sea,[a]
    those who are skilled to rouse up Leviathan.(A)
Let the stars of its dawn be dark;
    let it hope for light but have none;
    may it not see the eyelids of the morning—(B)
10 because it did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb
    and hide trouble from my eyes.

  1. 3.8 Cn: Heb day

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.
