20 Wherefore is the light geuen to hym that is in miserie? & lyfe vnto them that haue heauy heartes?

21 Whiche long for death and finde it not, though they search more for it than for treasures:

22 Which reioyce exceedingly, and be glad when they can finde the graue,

23 From whom their endes are hyd, and consealed by God?

24 For my sighes come before I eate, and my roringes are powred out like the water:

25 For the thing that I feared is come vpon me, and the thing that I was afrayde of is happened vnto me,

26 Was I not happy? Had I not quietnesse? Was I not in rest? And nowe commeth such miserie vpon me.
