Job 3:4 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Let that day be darkness I wish the sun had never risen on that day; or, which is the same thing, that it had never been: and whensoever that day returns, instead of the cheering and refreshing beams of light arising upon it, I wish it may be covered with gross, thick darkness, and rendered black, gloomy, and uncomfortable; let not God regard it from above From heaven, by causing the light of heaven to visit it; or, let God make no more inquiry after it than if such a day had never been. Dr. Waterland renders it, Let not God take account of it.

Job 3:4

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