Let darkness and deep gloom reclaim it;
    let clouds settle down on it;
        let blackness in mid-day terrify it.
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]

“Yes, let that night be barren;
    let it not appear with its joyful shout.

  1. Job 3:6 Lit. entered among the numbering of months

May gloom and utter darkness(A) claim it once more;
    may a cloud settle over it;
    may blackness overwhelm it.
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.
May that night be barren;
    may no shout of joy(C) be heard in it.

May darkness and (A)the shadow of death claim it;
May a cloud settle on it;
May the blackness of the day terrify it.
As for that night, may darkness seize it;
May it not [a]rejoice among the days of the year,
May it not come into the number of the months.
Oh, may that night be barren!
May no joyful shout come into it!
