Job 3:5

³ “May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said, ‘A boy is conceived.’

⁴ If only that day had turned to darkness! May God above disregard it; may no light shine upon it.

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
