# may that night be barren "may no child be born on that night". The night of Job's birth is spoken of as if it were a woman. # may no joyful voice come into it "may no one hear the happy cry at the birth of a son". The night of Job's birth is spoken of as if it were a time when it was still possible for someone to be happy. # joyful voice come "may no one be happy in it ever again"
