Let those who curse the day curse it,
those who are skilled at rousing Leviathan.
Let the stars of its dawn be dark;

and let it not see the eyelids of dawn
10 because it did not shut the doors of my mother’s womb,
nor[b] 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.
