SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:6
Aquella noche ocupara oscuridad, ni fuera contada entre los días del año, ni viniera en el número de los meses.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 3:6
Verse 6. As for that night, let darkness seize upon it ] I think the Targum has hit the sense of this whole verse: "Let darkness seize upon that night; let it not be reckoned among the annual festivals; in the number of the months of the calendar let it not be computed." Some understand the word lpa ophel as signifying a dark storm; hence the Vulgate, tenebrosus turbo, "a dark whirlwind." And hence Coverdale, Let the darck storme overcome that night, let it not be reckoned amonge the dayes off the yeare, nor counted in the monethes. Every thing is here personified; day, night, darkness, shadow of death, cloud, &c.; and the same idea of the total extinction of that portion of time, or its being rendered ominous and portentous, is pursued through all these verses, from the third to the ninth, inclusive. The imagery is diversified, the expressions varied, but the idea is the same.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-10 - For seven days Job's friends sat by him in silence, without offerin consolidation: at the same time Satan assaulted his mind to shake his confidence, and to fill him with hard thoughts of God. The permissio seems to have extended to this, as well as to torturing the body. Jo was an especial type of Christ, whose inward sufferings, both in the garden and on the cross, were the most dreadful; and arose in a grea degree from the assaults of Satan in that hour of darkness. Thes inward trials show the reason of the change that took place in Job' conduct, from entire submission to the will of God, to the impatienc which appears here, and in other parts of the book. The believer, wh knows that a few drops of this bitter cup are more dreadful than the sharpest outward afflictions, while he is favoured with a sweet sens of the love and presence of God, will not be surprised to find that Jo proved a man of like passions with others; but will rejoice that Sata was disappointed, and could not prove him a hypocrite; for though he cursed the day of his birth, he did not curse his God. Job doubtles was afterwards ashamed of these wishes, and we may suppose what must by his judgment of them now he is in everlasting happiness.
