⁹ May its morning stars become dark;
    may it wait for daylight in vain
    and not see the first rays of dawn,^(A)

³⁰ In that day^(A) they will roar over it
    like the roaring of the sea.^(B)
And if one looks at the land,
    there is only darkness^(C) and distress;^(D)
    even the sun will be darkened^(E) by clouds.

⁷ When I snuff you out, I will cover the heavens
    and darken their stars;
I will cover the sun with a cloud,
    and the moon will not give its light.^(A)
8 All the shining lights in the heavens
    I will darken^(B) over you;
    I will bring darkness over your land,^(C)
