King James Bible
"Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning."
Job calls upon professional mourners and enchanters who were believed to have power to curse days and make them inauspicious. In his anguish, he wants those who specialize in maledictions to retroactively curse the day of his birth, wishing it had never existed. The Hebrew text likely refers to 'Leviathan' rather than 'mourning'—mythical chaos monsters that ancient Near Eastern enchanters claimed to awaken. Job invokes these most powerful curse-makers, those who could supposedly rouse cosmic forces, revealing the depth of his desire to obliterate his birth day from existence.
