Job 3:4-6
New Life Version
4 May that day be darkness. May God above not care for it. May light not shine on it. 5 Let darkness and a heavy shadow take it for their own. Let a cloud come upon it. Let the darkness of the day bring fear upon it. 6 As for that night, let darkness take hold of it. Let it not have joy among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of months.

Job 3:4-6
New International Version
4 That day—may it turn to darkness;
may God above not care about it;
may no light shine on it.
5 May gloom and utter darkness(A) claim it once more;
may a cloud settle over it;
may blackness overwhelm it.
6 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.
