Job 3:5-7
International Standard Version
5 Let darkness and deep gloom reclaim it;
let clouds settle down on it;
let blackness in mid-day terrify it.
6 Let darkness carry that night away;
let it not take its place joyfully among the days of the year;
let it not be entered into the calendar.[a]
7 “Yes, let that night be barren;
let it not appear with its joyful shout.
