Job 3:9

Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but [have] none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

Let the stars {H3556} of the twilight {H5399} thereof be dark {H2821}; let it look {H6960} for light {H216}, but have none; neither let it see {H7200} the dawning {H6079} of the day {H7837}:

may the stars of its twilight be dark, may it look for light but get none, may it never see the shimmer of dawn

May its morning stars grow dark; may it wait in vain for daylight; may it not see the breaking of dawn.

Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark: Let it look for light, but have none; Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:
