Job 3:10

Discouragement and depressionGrief

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.

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?
