Job 3:6

_ _ seize upon it — as its prey, that is, utterly dissolve it.

_ _ joined unto the days of the year — rather, by poetic personification, “Let it not rejoice in the circle of days and nights and months, which form the circle of years.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 3:1-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 3:6

Darkness — Constant and extraordinary darkness, without the least glimmering of light from the moon or stars. Be joined — Reckoned as one, or a part of one of them.
