Job 3:5
Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
KJV
Obscurent eum tenebræ et umbra mortis ; occupet eum caligo, et involvatur amaritudine.
Vulgate
ἐκλάβοι δὲ αὐτὴν σκότος καὶ σκιὰ θανάτου, ἐπέλθοι ἐπ’ αὐτὴν γνόφος. καταραθείη ἡ ἡμέρα
LXX
Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.
