Job 3:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ Let gloom and deep darkness claim it.
    Let clouds settle upon it;
    let the blackness of the day terrify it.
⁶ 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.
⁷ Yes, let that night be barren;
    let no joyful cry be heard^[a] in it.
