Let gloom and deep darkness claim it.
    Let clouds dwell 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.
Yea, 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.
