Let that day be darkness. Let not God from above seek for it, nor let the light shine upon it. Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell upon it. Let blackness come upon it. As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months. Lo, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come in it. Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan. Let the stars of the twilight of it be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, nor let it behold the eyelids of the morning. Because it did not shut up the doors of my [mother's] womb, nor hide trouble from my eyes. Why did I not die from the womb? Why did I not give up the spirit when my mother bore me? Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should suck? For now I should have lain down and been quiet. I should have slept. Then I would have been at rest with kings and counselors of the earth, who built waste places for themselves, or with rulers who had gold, who filled their houses with silver. Or I should have been as a hidden untimely birth, as infants that never saw light. There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest. There the prisoners are at ease together. They do not hear the voice of the taskmaster. The small and the great are there. And the servant is free from his master.

The Son of man indeed goes as it is written about him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of man is betrayed! It was good for him if that man was not born.
