Job 3:6 - Adam Clarke

Job 3:6

4 May that day be darkness;
May God above not seek it,
Nor the light shine upon it.

5 May darkness and ^athe shadow of death claim it;
May a cloud settle on it;
May the blackness of the day terrify it.

6 As for that night, may darkness seize it;
May it not¹ rejoice among the days of the year,
May it not come into the number of the months.

7 Oh, may that night be barren!
May no joyful shout come into it!

8 May those curse it who curse the day,
Those ^awho are ready to arouse Leviathan.

9 May the stars of its morning be dark;
May it look for light, but have none,
And not see the¹ dawning of the day;

10 Because it did not shut up the doors of my mother’s womb,
Nor hide sorrow from my eyes.

11 “Why^a did I not die at birth?
Why did I not¹ perish when I came from the womb?

12 ^aWhy did the knees receive me?
Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
