Job 3:5
World English Bible (WEB)
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.
In context
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.
7 Behold, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein.
