Let gloom and deep darkness claim it.
    Let clouds settle upon it;
    let the blackness of the day terrify it.
That night—let thick darkness seize it!
    let it not rejoice among the days of the year;
    let it not come into the number of the months.
Yes, let that night be barren;
    let no joyful cry be heard[a] in it.

Footnotes

  1. Job 3:7 Heb come

May gloom and utter darkness(A) claim it once more;
    may a cloud settle over it;
    may blackness overwhelm it.
That night—may thick darkness(B) seize it;
    may it not be included among the days of the year
    nor be entered in any of the months.
May that night be barren;
    may no shout of joy(C) be heard in it.
