Job 3:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 May (A)darkness and black gloom claim it;
May a cloud settle on it;
May the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 As for that night, may darkness seize it;
May it not rejoice among the days of the year;
May it not come into the number of the months.
7 Behold, may that night be barren;
May no joyful shout enter it.
Job 3:5-7
New International Version
Job 3:5-7
New International Version
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.
7 May that night be barren;
may no shout of joy(C) be heard in it.
Job 3:5-7

Job 3:5-7
King James Version
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 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.
7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
