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:
KJV
Obtenebrentur stellæ caligine ejus ; expectet lucem, et non videat, nec ortum surgentis auroræ.
Vulgate

LXX
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:
