The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine)
Et ignis quidem nulla vis poterat illis lumen præbere, nec siderum limpidæ flammæ illuminare poterant illam noctem horrendam.
Septuagint (Swete)
καὶ πυρὸς μὲν οὐδεμία βία κατίσχυεν φωτίζειν, οὔτε ἄστρων ἔκλαμπροι φλόγες καταυγάζειν ὑπέμενον τὴν στυγνὴν ἐκείνην νύκτα.
