Berean Standard Bible

If only darkness had taken that night away! May it not appear among the days of the year; may it never be entered in any of the months.

As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.

As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.

Job 3:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 If only that day had turned to darkness! May God above disregard it; may no light shine upon it.

5 May darkness and gloom reclaim it, and a cloud settle over it; may the blackness of the day overwhelm it.

6 If only darkness had taken that night away! May it not appear among the days of the year; may it never be entered in any of the months.

7 Behold, may that night be barren; may no joyful voice come into it.

8 May it be cursed by those who curse the day — those prepared to rouse Leviathan.
