Job 3:18-26

18Captives also enjoy their ease; they no longer hear the slave driver’s shout.

19The small and the great are there, and the slaves are freed from their owners.

20“Why is light given to those in misery, and life to the bitter of soul,

21to those who long for death that does not come, who search for it more than for hidden treasure,

22who are filled with gladness and rejoice when they reach the grave?

23Why is life given to a man whose way is hidden, whom God has hedged in?

24For sighing has become my daily food; my groans pour out like water.

25What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me. 26I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.”
