Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 3 of Job. After the long silence, Job curses the day of his birth. He does not curse God, but wishes that the day that made his existence possible could be erased from memory. The poetry expresses pain so profound that existence itself appears burdensome. This lament begins the debate without yet resolving the cause of the suffering.

Derselbe Tag müsse finster sein, und Gott von obenherab müsse nicht nach ihm fragen; kein Glanz müsse über ihn scheinen!
Sea aquel día sombrío, Y Dios no cuide de él desde arriba, Ni claridad sobre él resplandezca.
Que aquel día se vuelva oscuridad; que Dios no se ocupe de él desde lo alto ni brille sobre él la luz.
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!
Quel giorno sia tenebroso; Iddio non ne abbia cura da alto, E non risplenda la luce sopra esso.
Converta-se aquele dia em trevas; e Deus, lá de cima, não tenha cuidado dele, nem resplandeça sobre ele a luz.
願那日變為黑暗, 願上帝不從上面尋找它, 願亮光不照於其上。
