Job 3:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ May that day turn into darkness.
    May God in heaven not care about it.
    May no light shine on it.
⁵ May gloom and total darkness take it back.
    May a cloud settle over it.
    May blackness cover it up.
⁶ May deep darkness take over the night I was born.
    May it not be included among the days of the year.
    May it never appear in any of the months.
