4If only that day had turned to darkness!
May God above disregard it;
may no light shine upon it.
5May darkness and gloom reclaim it,
and a cloud settle over it;
may the blackness of the day overwhelm it.
6If only darkness had taken that night away!
May it not appear among the days of the year;
may it never be entered in any of the months.
— Job 3:4-6
