Some magicians think they can wake Leviathan.[a]
    So let them say their curses and curse the day I was born.
Let that day’s morning star be dark.
    Let that night wait for a morning that never comes.
    I wish it had never seen the first rays of sunlight.
10 I wish it had stopped me from being born
    and kept me from seeing all these troubles.
