Job 3:6

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

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.

In context

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.

8 May it be cursed by those who curse the day — those prepared to rouse Leviathan.
