⁵ "Let darkness and black gloom claim it; Let a cloud settle on it; Let the blackness of the day terrify it.
⁶ "As for that night, let darkness seize it; Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months.
⁷ "Behold, let that night be barren; Let no joyful shout enter it.
⁸ "Let those curse it who curse the day, Who are prepared to rouse Leviathan.
⁹ "Let the stars of its twilight be darkened; Let it wait for light but have none, And let it not see the breaking dawn;

¹² "Why did the knees receive me, And why the breasts, that I should suck?
¹³ "For now I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept then, I would have been at rest,
¹⁴ With kings and with counselors of the earth, Who rebuilt ruins for themselves;
