Job 3:5 in Context — Job 3

3 Perezca el día en que yo nací, y la noche que se dijo: Varón es concebido.

4 Sea aquel día sombrío, y Dios no cuide de él desde arriba, ni claridad sobre él resplandezca.

5 Aféenlo tinieblas y sombra de muerte; repose sobre él nublado, que lo haga horrible como caliginoso día.

6 Ocupe la oscuridad aquella noche; no sea contada entre los días del año, ni venga en el número de los meses.

7 ¡Oh si fuere aquella noche solitaria, que no viniera canción alguna en ella!
