Job 3:5 in context

  1. 3Let the day perish wherein I was born, And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived.
  2. 4Let that day be darkness; Let not God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine upon it.
  3. 5Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.
  4. 6As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it: Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months.
  5. 7Lo, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come therein.
