menu_book Verse in Context

2 Job answered:

3 “Let the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, ‘There is a boy conceived.’

4 Let that day be darkness. Don’t let God from above seek for it, neither let the light shine on it.

5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes the day black terrify it.

6 As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.
