King James Version

Job 3:20-26

20Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;

21Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;1

22Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?

23Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

24For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.2

25For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.3

26I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
