Job 3:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³ “I wish the day I was born would be lost forever.
    I wish the night they said, ‘It’s a boy!’ had never happened.
⁴ I wish that day had remained dark.
    I wish God above had forgotten that day
    and not let any light shine on it.
⁵ I wish that bitter day had remained as dark as death,
    covered with the darkest clouds.
