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:

Verse 9 is found in chapter 3 of Job. After the long silence, Job curses the day of his birth. He does not curse God, but wishes that the day that made his existence possible could be erased from memory. The poetry expresses pain so profound that existence itself appears burdensome. This lament begins the debate without yet resolving the cause of the suffering.

Ihre Sterne müssen finster sein in ihrer Dämmerung; sie hoffe aufs Licht, und es komme nicht, und müsse nicht sehen die Wimpern der Morgenröte,
Oscurézcanse las estrellas de su alba; Espere la luz, y no venga, Ni vea los párpados de la mañana:
Que se oscurezcan las estrellas de su alba; que espere la luz sin que llegue y no vea los párpados de la aurora.
Que les étoiles de son crépuscule s'obscurcissent, Qu'elle attende en vain la lumière, Et qu'elle ne voie point les paupières de l'aurore!
Oscurinsi le stelle del suo vespro; Aspetti la luce, ma non ne venga alcuna, E non vegga le palpebre dell’alba;
Escureçam-se as estrelas do seu crepúsculo; que espere a luz, e não venha; e não veja as pálpebras da alva;
願那夜黎明的星宿變為黑暗, 盼亮卻不亮, 也不見晨曦破曉 ;
