Job 3:4 Context
2And Iob spake, and said, 3Let the day perish, wherein I was borne, and the night in which it was said, There is a man-childe conceiued. 4Let that day bee darkenesse, let not God regard it from aboue, neither let the light shine vpon it. 5Let darkenes and the shadowe of death staine it, let a cloud dwell vpon it, let the blacknes of the day terrifie it. 6As for that night, let darkenesse seaze vpon it, let it not be ioyned vnto the dayes of the yeere, let it not come into the number of the moneths.
