Let those with magic powers[a]
    place a curse on that day.
Darken its morning stars
    and remove all hope of light,
10 because it let me be born
    into a world of trouble.

Footnotes

  1. 3.8 those with magic powers: The Hebrew text has “those who can place a curse on the day and rouse up Leviathan,” which was some kind of sea monster. God's victory over this monster sometimes stood for God's power over all creation and sometimes for his defeat of his enemies (see Isaiah 27.1). In Job 41.1, Leviathan is either a sea monster or a crocodile with almost supernatural powers.
