"Let the stars be concealed with its darkness. Let it expect light, and not see it, nor the rising of the dawn in the East. "
— Job 3:9, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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 of the twilight thereof be dark: Let it look for light, but have none; Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning: ”
“Let the stars of its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,”
“Let its morning stars be darkened; let it wait for daylight but find none, nor let it see the first rays of dawn,”
“Let the stars be darkened with the mist thereof: let it expect light, and not see it, nor the rising of the dawning of the day:”
“Let its morning stars be dark; let it be looking for light, but may it not have any; let it not see the eyes of the dawn.”
“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 a whirlwind of darkness take hold of that night, let it not be counted in the days of the year, nor numbered in the months.
May that night be alone and unworthy of praise.
May they curse it, who curse the day, who are prepared to awaken a leviathan.
Let the stars be concealed with its darkness. Let it expect light, and not see it, nor the rising of the dawn in the East.
For it did not close the doors of the womb that bore me, nor take away evils from my eyes.
Why did I not die in the womb? Having left the womb, why did I not immediately perish?
Why was I received upon the knees? Why was I suckled at the breasts?
