Job 3:4-9 ▼

4 If only that day had turned to darkness! May God above not care about it, or light shine on it.

5 May darkness and gloom reclaim it, and a cloud settle over it. May an eclipse of the sun terrify it.

6 If only darkness had taken that night away! May it not appear among the days of the year or be listed in the calendar.

7 Yes, may that night be barren; may no joyful shout be heard in it.

8 Let those who curse certain days cast a spell on it, those who are skilled in rousing Leviathan.

9 May its morning stars grow dark. May it wait for daylight but have none; may it not see the breaking of dawn.
