Bible verse
May it be cursed by those who curse the day—those prepared to rouse Leviathan.
Job 3:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 3.
4 If only that day had turned to darkness! May God above disregard it; may no light shine upon it.
5 May darkness and gloom reclaim it, and a cloud settle over it; may the blackness of the day overwhelm it.
6 If only darkness had taken that night away! May it not appear among the days of the year; may it never be entered in any of the months.
7 Behold, may that night be barren; may no joyful voice come into it.
8 May it be cursed by those who curse the day—those prepared to rouse Leviathan.
9 May its morning stars grow dark; may it wait in vain for daylight; may it not see the breaking of dawn.
10 For that night did not shut the doors of the womb to hide the sorrow from my eyes.
11 Why did I not perish at birth; why did I not die as I came from the womb?
12 Why were there knees to receive me, and breasts that I should be nursed?
