4 That day let it be darkness, let not God care for it from above, neither let light shine upon it: DBY — Job 3:4
5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it; let clouds dwell upon it; let darkeners of the day terrify it. DBY — Job 3:5

12 Why did the knees meet me? and wherefore the breasts, that I should suck? DBY — Job 3:12
13 For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept: then had I been at rest, DBY — Job 3:13
14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, who build desolate places for themselves, DBY — Job 3:14

23 To the man whose way is hidden, and whom God hath hedged in? DBY — Job 3:23
24 For my sighing cometh before my bread, and my groanings are poured out like the waters. DBY — Job 3:24
