Job 3:20-26 ▼

20 Why does He give light to the miserable, and life to the bitter soul?

21 Who are waiting for death, and it is not, || And they seek it above hid treasures.

22 Who are glad—to joy, || They rejoice when they find a grave.

23 To a man whose way has been hidden, || And whom God shuts up?

24 For before my food, my sighing comes, || And my roarings [are] poured out as waters.

25 For I feared a fear and it meets me, || And what I was afraid of comes to me.

26 I was not safe—nor was I quiet—Nor was I at rest—and trouble comes!”
