Commentary

Commentary on Job 3:4

Theological / Devotional

That day. Verses 4 and 5 curse the day of birth, verses 6-10 the night of conception.

Darkness. The most dramatic curse that could be pronounced upon a day, because darkness is the opposite of day.

Regard it. Literally, “inquire after it.” God is the One who gives to the day its light. He is now called upon to pass it by.

Light shine. Emphasis is achieved by the reiteration.
