Job 3:23 in context

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
Selected verse

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 do I have rest;

but trouble comes.”
