- Let the day:
- That is, as we say, "Let it be blotted out of the calendar." "Wherefore¹ then hast thou brought me forthª° out of the womb?ª¹ Oh that I had given up the ghost,ª° and no¹ eyeª had seenª° me! ... I should have been¹ as though¹ I had not¹ been;¹ I should have been carriedª° from the wombª¹ to the grave.ª" {Job 10:18-19} + "Woeª is me, my mother,ª that¹ thou hast borneª° me a manª of strifeª and a manª of contentionª to the whole¹ earth!ª I have neither¹ lent on usury,ª° nor¹ men have lent to me on usury;ª° [yet] every one¹ of them doth curseª° me." {Jer 15:10} + "Cursedª° [be] the dayª wherein¹ I was born:ª° let not¹ the dayª wherein¹ my motherª bareª° me be¹ blessed.ª° ... Cursedª° [be] the manª who¹ brought tidingsª° to¹ my father,ª saying,ª° A manª childª is bornª° unto thee; making him very²° glad.ª°" {Jer 20:14-15}
