Let the Day Perish — Job 3:20–26

Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery,
And life unto the bitter in soul;

Who long for death, but it cometh not,
And dig for it more than for hid treasures;

Who rejoice exceedingly,
And are glad, when they can find the grave?

Why is light given to a man whose way is hid,
And whom God hath hedged in?

For my sighing cometh before I eat,
And my groanings are poured out like water.

For the thing which I fear cometh upon me,
And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.

I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest;
But trouble cometh.
