Job 3:5

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

May darkness and gloom reclaim it, and a cloud settle over it; may the blackness of the day overwhelm it.

In context

3 “May the day of my birth perish, and the night it was said, ‘A boy is conceived.’

4 If only that day had turned to darkness! May God above disregard it; may no light shine upon it.

5 May darkness and gloom reclaim it, and a cloud settle over it; may the blackness of the day overwhelm it.

6 If only darkness had taken that night away! May it not appear among the days of the year; may it never be entered in any of the months.

7 Behold, may that night be barren; may no joyful voice come into it.
