As for that
night, let
darkness seize upon it; let it not be
joined unto the
days of the
year, let it not
come into the
number of the
months.

Lo, let that
night be
solitary, let no joyful

Let them

ready to raise
up their
mourning.

Let the
stars of the
twilight thereof be
dark; let it
look for
light, but have none; neither let it
see the
dawning of the
day:

up the

hid sorrow from mine

died I not from the
