# General Information:
Job continues to curse the day he was born.
# Those who curse the day–may they curse it, those who know how to wake up Leviathan
You may need to change the order of the clauses. Alternate translation: "May those who curse the day—those who know how to wake up Leviathan—curse the day I was born" or "Those who curse the day—those who know how to wake up Leviathan—may they curse the day I was born"
# Those who curse the day
This metonym refers to people who use magic to cause other people to suffer on a given day as though they were causing the day itself to suffer. Alternate translation: "Those who know how to curse people" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
# may they curse it
The word "it" refers to the day on which Job was born.
# those who know how to wake up Leviathan
Job is probably referring here to sorcerers and magicians, who he believes might be able to even provoke Leviathan in spreading chaos. Leviathan was an animal well known in Ancient Near Eastern mythology, which was thought to be responsible for all kinds of destruction, disorder, and chaos.

Here a man who has difficulties and is in danger is spoken of as if God had put a hedge around him so he could not move. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# whom God has hedged in
