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

ગુજરાતીઅયૂબ ૩:૫
તે દિવસ અંધકારનો તથા મૃત્યુછાયાનો ગણાઓ; તે પર વાદળ ઠરી રહો; તે દિવસનો અંધકાર ત્રાસદાયક બનો.
हिन्दीअय्यूब ३:५
अंधियारा और मृत्यु की छाया उस पर रहे। बादल उस पर छाए रहें; और दिन को अंधेरा कर देनेवाली चीजें उसे डराएँ।

In context

3“Let the day perish in which I was born, the night which said, ‘There is a boy conceived.’

4Let that day be darkness. Don’t let God from above seek for it, neither let the light shine on it.

5Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own. Let a cloud dwell on it. Let all that makes the day black terrify it.

6As 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.

7Behold, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein.
