May the day I was born perish,
and the night when they said,
“A boy is conceived.”

They perish at a single blast from God
and come to an end by the breath of His nostrils.

They are smashed to pieces from dawn to dusk;
they perish forever while no one notices.

Caravans turn away from their routes,
go up into the desert, and perish.

Such is the destiny of all who forget God;
the hope of the godless will perish.

every living thing would perish together
and mankind would return to the dust.
