Let its stars turn dark before dawn. Let it hope for light and receive none. Let it not see the first light of dawn
because it did not shut the doors of the womb ⌞from which I came⌟ or hide my eyes from trouble.
Let those who curse the day (those who know how to wake up Leviathan) curse that night.
When I waited for good, evil came. When I looked for light, darkness came.
No one is brave enough to provoke Leviathan. Then who can stand in front of me?
When Leviathan sneezes, it gives out a flash of light. Its eyes are like the first rays of the dawn.
Honor the Lord your God before it gets dark, before your feet stumble on the mountains in the twilight. You will look for light, but the Lord will turn it into the shadow of death and change it into deep darkness.
We hoped for peace, but nothing good has happened. We hoped for a time of healing, but there’s only terror.
