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: 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:
The verse is Job's despairing and rebellious curse upon the night of his birth, in which he wishes the stars of its twilight to be darkened, wishes it to look for light in vain and have none, and wishes it never to see the dawning of the day. It belongs to Job chapters 3-31, which contain the arguments or colloquies between Job and his three friends concerning the cause and purpose of human suffering. It stands in the opening part of the book that presents the great problems of overruling providence, sin, and suffering.
There God is disciplining Job and bringing him through the fire of affliction, while his three friends accuse him of sin and insist his sufferings come from sin, showing how people misjudge one another. The verse thus belongs to the account of Job's affliction, which shows that trouble could deeply disturb the heart even of a patient and good man.
