May that night be alone and unworthy of praise.
Let a whirlwind of darkness take hold of that night, let it not be counted in the days of the year, nor numbered in the months.
May they curse it, who curse the day, who are prepared to awaken a leviathan.
The gladness of the drums has ceased. The sound of rejoicing has quieted. The sweetness of stringed instruments has been silenced.
And from the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, I will cause the cessation of the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride. For the land will be in utter desolation."
