Job 3:8 Context
6As for that night, let darkenesse seaze vpon it, let it not be ioyned vnto the dayes of the yeere, let it not come into the number of the moneths. 7Loe, let that night be solitarie, let no ioyfull voice come therein. 8Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise vp their mourning. 9Let the starres of the twilight thereof be darke, let it looke for light, but haue none, neither let it see the dawning of the day: 10Because it shut not vp the doores of my mothers wombe, nor hid sorrowe from mine eyes.
