Indeed, may that night be barren; may no joyful shout enter it.
That night—may thick darkness seize it; may it not be included among the days of the year, nor be entered among the number of months.
May those who curse, curse the day— those ready to awaken Leviathan.
The glee of tambourines stops, the noise of revelers ends, the joy of the harp ceases.
Then I will bring an end, from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem, to the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride. For the land will be desolate.”
