“Perish the day on which I was born
    and the night it was said, ‘A boy is born.’
May that day turn to darkness;[a]
    may God not take note of it from above,
    and may light not shine upon it.

  1. Job 3:4 May that day turn to darkness: in the beginning God had said: “Let there be light” (Gen 1:3). Now Job so to speak says: “Let there be darkness,” negating God’s creative act.

Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

Nor the light shine upon it.
