text: Let that day be darkness; Let not God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine upon it.

text: As 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.

reference: Job 3:8

text: Let them curse it that curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.


reference: Job 3:9

text: Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark: Let it look for light, but have none; Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:


text: Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes.


text: Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?


text: Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should suck?


text: For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,


text: With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;


text: Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:


text: Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light.


text: There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary are at rest.


text: There the prisoners are at ease together; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.


text: The small and the great are there: And the servant is free from his master.


text: Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul;


text: Who long for death, but it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures;


text: Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad, when they can find the grave?


text: Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, And whom God hath hedged in?


text: For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groanings are poured out like water.


text: For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.


text: I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble cometh.
