King James Version

Job 3:20-26

20Wherefore is lightH216 givenH5414 to him that is in miseryH6001, and lifeH2416 unto the bitterH4751 in soulH5315;

21Which longH2442 for deathH4194, but it cometh not; and digH2658 for it more than for hid treasuresH4301;1

22Which rejoiceH8056 exceedinglyH1524, and are gladH7797, when they can findH4672 the graveH6913?

23Why is light given to a manH1397 whose wayH1870 is hidH5641, and whom GodH433 hath hedged inH5526?

24For my sighingH585 comethH935 beforeH6440 I eatH3899, and my roaringsH7581 are poured outH5413 like the watersH4325.2

25For the thing which I greatlyH6343 fearedH6342 is comeH857 upon me, and that which I was afraidH3025 of is comeH935 unto me.3

26I was not in safetyH7951, neither had I restH8252, neither was I quietH5117; yet troubleH7267 cameH935.
