"Let darkness and the shadow of death obscure it, let a fog overtake it, and let it be enveloped in bitterness. "
— Job 3:5, Catholic Public Domain 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 upon it; Let all that maketh black 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 this is what he said:
May the day perish on which I was born, and the night, in which it was said, “A man has been conceived.”
May that day be turned into darkness, may God not seek it from above, and may light not illuminate it.
Let darkness and the shadow of death obscure it, let a fog overtake it, and let it be enveloped in bitterness.
Let a whirlwind of darkness take hold of that night, let it not be counted in the days of the year, nor numbered in the months.
May that night be alone and unworthy of praise.
May they curse it, who curse the day, who are prepared to awaken a leviathan.
