American Standard Version
"Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it. "
— Job 3:5, American Standard Version
“Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.”
“Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes black the day terrify it.”
“Let darkness and the deepest shadow claim it; let a cloud settle on it; let whatever blackens the day terrify it!”
“Let darkness, and the shadow of death, cover it, let a mist overspread it, and let it be wrapped up in bitterness.”
“Let the dark and the black night take it for themselves; let it be covered with a cloud; let the dark shades of day send fear on it.”
“Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.”
And Job answered and said:
Let the day perish wherein I was born, And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived.
Let that day be darkness; Let not God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine upon it.
Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.
As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it: Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months.
Lo, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come therein.
Let them curse it that curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
