Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

Let darkness and the shades of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined to the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.

Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

Then let me sow, and let another eat; yes, let my offspring be rooted out.

Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
