May those who curse, curse the day—
    those ready to awaken Leviathan.
May its morning stars be darkened;
    may it hope for light but have none—
    may it never see the eyelids of dawn.
10 For it did not shut the doors of the womb on me,
    nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.

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.
