Job 3:20-26 - Job Wishes He Might Die

²⁰
“Why is the light given to him who is in misery,
And life to the bitter in soul,
²¹
Who wait for death, but it does not come,
And dig (search) for death more [diligently] than for hidden treasures,
²²
Who rejoice exceedingly,
And rejoice when they find the grave?
²³
“Why is the light of day given to a man whose way is hidden,
And whom God has hedged in?
²⁴
“For my groaning comes at the sight of my food,
And my cries [of despair] are poured out like water.
²⁵
“For the thing which I greatly fear comes upon me,
And that of which I am afraid has come upon me.
²⁶
“I am not at ease, nor am I quiet,
And I am not at rest, and yet trouble still comes [upon me].”
