Job 3:20-26

20“Oh, why give light to those in misery, and life to those who are bitter?

21They long for death, and it won’t come. They search for death more eagerly than for hidden treasure.

22They’re filled with joy when they finally die, and rejoice when they find the grave.

23Why is life given to those with no future, those God has surrounded with difficulties?

24I cannot eat for sighing; my groans pour out like water.

25What I always feared has happened to me. What I dreaded has come true.

26I have no peace, no quietness. I have no rest; only trouble comes.”
