Job 3:6

“As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.”

Verse in context — Job 3

Let that day be darkness. Don't let God from above seek for it, neither let the light shine on it.

Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes black the day terrify it.

As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.

Behold, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein.

Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
