"Let darkness and the deepest shadow claim it; let a cloud settle on it; let whatever blackens the day terrify it!"
— Job 3:5, NET Bible
“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 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.”
Job spoke up and said:
“Let the day on which I was born perish, and the night that said,‘A man has been conceived!’
That day– let it be darkness; let not God on high regard it, nor let light shine on it!
Let darkness and the deepest shadow claim it; let a cloud settle on it; let whatever blackens the day terrify it!
That night– let darkness seize it; let it not be included among the days of the year; let it not enter among the number of the months!
Indeed, let that night be barren; let no shout of joy penetrate it!
Let those who curse the day curse it– those who are prepared to rouse Leviathan.
