Job 3:6 in Context — Job 3

4 Ce jour! Qu’il se change en ténèbres, Que Dieu n’en ait point souci dans le ciel, Et que la lumière ne rayonne plus sur lui!

5 Que l’obscurité et l’ombre de la mort s’en emparent, Que des nuées établissent leur demeure au-dessus de lui, Et que de noirs phénomènes l’épouvantent!

6 Cette nuit! Que les ténèbres en fassent leur proie, Qu’elle disparaisse de l’année, Qu’elle ne soit plus comptée parmi les mois!

7 Que cette nuit devienne stérile, Que l’allégresse en soit bannie!

8 Qu’elle soit maudite par ceux qui maudissent les jours, Par ceux qui savent exciter le léviathan!
