Job 3:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³“Let the day perish in which I was born,
    and the night that said,
    ‘A male is conceived.’^(A)
⁴Let that day be darkness!
    May God above not seek it
    or light shine on it.
⁵Let gloom and deep darkness claim it.
    Let clouds settle upon it;
    let the blackness of the day terrify it.^(B)
