⁹ Let the stars of its dawn be dark;
    let it hope for light, but have none,
    nor see ^(A)the eyelids of the morning,

³⁰ They will growl over it on that day,
    like the growling of the sea.
And if one looks to the land,
    behold, ^(A)darkness and distress;
and the light is darkened by its clouds.

^7 (A)When I blot you out, ^(B)I will cover the heavens
    and make their stars dark;
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
    and the moon shall not give its light.
⁸ All the bright lights of heaven
    will I make dark over you,
    and ^(C)put darkness on your land,
declares the Lord God.
