Job 3:4-7

4Let that dayH3117 be darknessH2822; let not GodH433 regardH1875 it from aboveH4605, neither let the lightH5105 shineH3313 upon it.

5Let darknessH2822 and the shadow of deathH6757 stainH1350 it; let a cloudH6053 dwellH7931 upon it; let the blacknessH3650 of the dayH3117 terrifyH1204 it.1 2

6As for that nightH3915, let darknessH652 seizeH3947 upon it; let it not be joinedH2302 unto the daysH3117 of the yearH8141, let it not comeH935 into the numberH4557 of the monthsH3391.3

7Lo, let that nightH3915 be solitaryH1565, let no joyful voiceH7445 comeH935 therein.
