That day -- let it be darkness; let not God on high regard it, nor let light shine on it!

Let darkness and the deepest shadow claim it; let a cloud settle on it; let whatever blackens the day terrify it!

That night -- let darkness seize it; let it not be included among the days of the year; let it not enter among the number of the months!

Let its morning stars be darkened; let it wait for daylight but find none, nor let it see the first rays of dawn,

then let me sow and let another eat, and let my crops be uprooted.
