Job 3:9 in other translations
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:
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 its twilight be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the morning,

In context
6 As for that night, let thick darkness seize on it. Let it not rejoice among the days of the year. Let it not come into the number of the months.
7 Behold, let that night be barren. Let no joyful voice come therein.
8 Let them curse it who curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.
9 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,
10 because it didn’t shut up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes.
11 “Why didn’t I die from the womb? Why didn’t I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?
12 Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should nurse?
