Job 3:20-26
20
"Why is light given to him who is in misery, life to the bitter in soul,
21
Who long for death, but it doesn't come; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
22
who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
23
Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?
24
For my sighing comes before I eat. My groanings are poured out like water.
25
For the thing which I fear comes on me, That which I am afraid of comes to me.
26
I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; but trouble comes."
