5Let darkness and death-shade redeem it, Let a cloud tabernacle upon it, Let them terrify it as the most bitter of days.


In Context

2 And Job answereth and saith: —

3 Let the day perish in which I am born, And the night that hath said: 'A man-child hath been conceived.'

4 That day — let it be darkness, Let not God require it from above, Nor let light shine upon it.

5 Let darkness and death-shade redeem it, Let a cloud tabernacle upon it, Let them terrify it as the most bitter of days.

6 That night — let thick darkness take it, Let it not be united to days of the year, Into the number of months let it not come.

7 Lo! that night — let it be gloomy, Let no singing come into it.
