Job 3:2-6 King James Version (KJV)
2 And Job spake, and said,
3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
Job 3:2-6 Lexham English Bible (LEB)
2 Thus Job spoke up and said,
3 “Let the day perish on which I was born,
and the night that said, ‘A man-child is conceived.’4 Let that day become darkness;
may God not seek it from above,
nor may daylight shine on it.5 Let darkness and deep shadow claim it;
let clouds settle on it;
let them terrify it with the blackness of day.6 Let darkness seize that night;
let it not rejoice among the days of the year;
let it not enter among the number of the months.

2-3 There could two ways to look at this either Job thought the day he was born was cursed because of what was happening to him or he was asking God to curse the day he was born so that he would not be born to deal with the pain he was in.
4 Job knew God had control but for some reason was talking to God about him not being born instead of asking for God’s help, often times during stress we may complain to God but forget we should have been looking to Him for help the entire time.
5 Job knew God’s power was strong the time was nothing compared to the Lord.
6 Job may very likely wish that the day was born never happened, sometimes grief is so bad that we do not see the good that has happened from us being born, Job could not see the good that had happened from his birth.
