Context Reading
5May darkness and gloom reclaim it, and a cloud settle over it; may the blackness of the day overwhelm it. 6If 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. 7Behold, may that night be barren; may no joyful voice come into it. 8May it be cursed by those who curse the day — those prepared to rouse Leviathan. 9May its morning stars grow dark; may it wait in vain for daylight; may it not see the breaking of dawn.
