3:4 That day 1 – let it be darkness; 2
let not God on high regard 3 it,
nor let light shine 4 on it!
3:5 Let darkness and the deepest
shadow 5 claim it; 6
let a cloud settle on it;
let whatever blackens the day 7 terrify it!
3:6 That night – let darkness seize 8 it;
let it not be included 9 among the days of the year;
let it not enter among the number of the months! 10
3:7 Indeed, 11 let that night be barren; 12
let no shout of joy 13 penetrate 14 it!
3:8 Let those who curse the day 15 curse it 16 –
those who are prepared to rouse 17 Leviathan. 18
3:9 Let its morning stars 19 be darkened;
let it wait 20 for daylight but find none, 21
nor let it see the first rays 22 of dawn,
