Job 3:20-26

20"Why is light given to him who is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul,

21who long for death, but it comes not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,

22who rejoice exceedingly and are glad when they find the grave?

23Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?

24For my sighing comes instead of my bread, and my groanings are poured out like water.

25For the thing that I fear comes upon me, and what I dread befalls me.

26I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, but trouble comes."
