“Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.”
Job calls upon those who curse days and are skilled in rousing the sea-serpent (Leviathan) to curse the day of his birth, invoking the aid of cosmic powers and sorcerous practitioners. The reference to Leviathan—the primordial chaos monster—suggests an appeal to the destructive powers of chaos itself to undo the ordered creation that brought him forth. This invocation of mythic rebellion reveals the extremity of his desire to negate existence.
